Hello, I am the proud owner of a used 98 V70XC and I like the car a lot, got it for the wife and the little girl. I am currently trying to work my way through a "Check Engine" light issue and would appreciate any insights that forum members may have. From what I can gather, this is not uncommon, so I appologise if I am beating a dead horse, but...

The code I get when I scan the ODB is "P0455: Evaporative Emissions Control System Leak Detected (Gross Leak)"
I have replaced several questionable vacum lines, the gas cap, reset the light but it comes back on. I realize that there are a host of things that can cause this code (charcoal canisters, vac lines, fuel tank, etc) but I am looking for any insight that forum watchers may have.
Thanks in advance. Trev

 

Try getting a new Evap valve and filter.The Evap valve is located on the cooling fan shroud.
Also make sure you follow every line and check it really good.

 

Tech,
Thanks, I will do just that as a bunch of people have mentioned the valve you suggested. Seems like you are very helpful to the group and have a lot of knowledge, Thanks in advance, Trev

By the way, for fun, check out what we do in the backyard at www.grasspass.org

That is so cool.

Keep me posted on what happens with the car.

 

Hey tech, by filter did you mean fuel filter? Thanx!

 

No they sell an inline Filter for the Evap system it goes on the back side of the Valve.
