Carbon canister and engine bay explanation

[PsymonS]

Hi all, finally found myself a 182 track car, after lurking around on here for a bit. The handling put a smile on my face on the way home from picking it up!

Here comes the but...

It's got the EML on, I assumed because of the decat, but when I checked the codes I had P0443, which from a bit of searching around on here seems to be to do with the carbon canister. As far as I can tell the car doesn't have one, although I can't find a picture of where it should be.

Would someone mind pointing out where it should be, and where I might be able to find the wiring for it if the previous owner has taken it out. It sounds like I need to check/add a resistor but I can't work out where.

There are these two pipes that have been blocked up, I don't think they're related, but an explanation of what they are would be really appreciated too.

Under the drivers headlight there should be a plug dangling. You'll need to either jam a resistor in there or grab the plug and bung from a carbon canister to plug it in

I left the bung on mine to keep the EML off

Thanks, will have a look for it.
Can you tell me what those two pipes are for?

Hi, the carbon canister sits behind the driver's side headlight, there are a few threads already covering how to remove one.

The one on the front is for the acoustic valve and the one on the back is for the carbon canister but you can leave it blocked off

Resistor in the plug for carbon canister valve to keep the eml off, i used this one https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/chas...edbHeRPkErVGFpnOiWdimpwEzSdRBTNAaAgICEALw_wcB

Saves the annoying ticking with valve plugged in.

Thank you, saved me having to find the other thread I came across with the resistor specs.

Do you need to remove the headlight to access the canister?

Carbon cannister at the bottom and the plug on the top of it circled. So yeah headlamp out job. When I removed mine the car was quite rusty so get some rust treatment to hand if your going to remove it. 👍

I checked under the headlight ( just with my phone, I didn't remove the cluster, and from underneath), and as I suspected there's no canister there. Looks like the previous owner has covered the hole with a bit of plastic. This is the view looking towards the back of the headlight cluster.

There also wasn't any wiring that I could find for the sensor though. I was expecting to find a wire with a missing resistor or something I guess. I don't suppose anyone knows where the wiring for that sensor comes from? In Clio_fool's photo it looks like it goes back behind the engine?
