WHERE IS THIS CHARCOAL CANISTER LOL?! Pic included

I honestly do not know how to access this, I've no clue where any of it is but I want to know what it does and how to hook it back up etc 

Not sure where they are on a golf but year ago they used to be behind the wing on 205 gti,s. They are there to scrub the fines from the fuel breathers. Normally tucked up in the void between the inner and out wing.

It says they in the fender somewhere lol I wanna know where so I can hook it up lol o never see any vac lines to it or owt, wonder if it's even used 

Remove the inner fender wheel well cover.
on the left of the wheel opening attached to the hard fender.

thank you guys I'll get to it and post what I find when I get chance 

You don't have it in uk cars, I've had both front wheel arch inner liners off and there's nothing there.
The pictures etc are America so slightly different from uk cars.

Yup, none of my mk1's have had a cannister.

Ohhhh right ! That explained that then lol you are right I'll put my screws back in 😂 lol 

I have often wondered what various vacuum pipes disappear into the near side upper wheel arch for. Anything in there is well hidden and certainly not easy to gain access too.

You'd know if you had one because they make a constant tapping / clicking noise.

Well they do when they work

It is located in the left side passenger fender, you have to remove the outer inner fender flare to get access to it. same thing you remove to get access to the antenna.

Makes a noise?  I never hear it as I am usually driving my car topless tunes up and a smile on my face.

There is a thread on the vwvortex cabriolet section where someone rebuilt thiers to eliminate the fumes.
but the thread is devoid of photos thanks to pbucket.
I took apart the charcoal canister, put new charcoal in, and reassembled (pics) | VW Vortex - Volkswagen Forum

kind of read the headings of the photos.
