Capture and store fuel vapor from the tank and keep the evaporative emission system doing its job with the Standard Ignition Vapor Canister CP3383. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of Audi models, including the 2010-2016 A4, 2010-2016 A4 Quattro, 2013 A4 Allroad, 2010-2014 A5, 2008-2017 A5 Quattro, 2012-2016 A6, 2009-2017 Q5, 2014-2018 RS7 and 2014-2017 SQ5 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications and engines.
The vapor (charcoal) canister traps fuel vapor from the fuel tank and holds it until the purge system routes it to the intake to be burned, helping keep raw hydrocarbons out of the atmosphere. If a saturated or cracked canister is the cause of an EVAP fault code, fuel odor, or a failed emissions test, this unit replaces it.
- OE-matched fit: connector and terminals match the original for correct performance and easier installation.
- Durable housing: built to withstand temperature swings and exposure to chemicals and debris.
- Higher-mileage focus: specially engineered for higher-mileage Audi vehicles.
- Validated: extensively tested in the lab and on vehicles so the complex EVAP system operates as the OE intended.
