The carbon canister purge valve on the Volkswagen Tiguan is located beneath the engine hood. Where is the carbon canister purge valve located? The carbon canister of the Volkswagen Tiguan is positioned under the front engine hood, adjacent to the small coolant tank at the upper left corner of the engine. To access it, open the driver's door of the FAW-Volkswagen Tiguan, pull the hood release lever located on the left side of the driver's footwell, and lift the engine hood. The vehicle's carbon canister is situated beneath the hood, at the upper left corner of the engine. Carbon Canister: It is part of the evaporative emission control system, which was introduced to prevent fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere after the engine is turned off. The working principle is that after the engine shuts down, fuel vapors mix with fresh air inside the canister and are stored in the activated charcoal canister. When the engine starts, the solenoid valve between the activated charcoal canister and the intake manifold opens, allowing the fuel vapors in the canister to be drawn into the engine cylinders by the vacuum in the intake manifold, where they are burned along with the air-fuel mixture. This not only reduces emissions but also improves fuel efficiency.
