Audi Vapor Canister Filter (A5 Quattro S5 A5) - Genuine Audi 8F0201997C

Product Information

A vapor canister filter is part of a vehicle’s evaporative emissions control (EVAP) system, designed to filter air entering the charcoal canister. The charcoal canister stores fuel vapors from the fuel tank and later sends them to the engine for combustion, reducing emissions. The vapor canister filter ensures that only clean air passes through the system, preventing dust and debris from contaminating the charcoal and affecting performance.

• Check Engine Light (CEL) illumination, often due to EVAP system faults.
• Fuel odors around the vehicle, caused by vapors not being properly contained or processed.
• Failed emissions test, as a clogged or damaged filter disrupts proper vapor flow.

About Genuine Audi

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Audi are not necessarily manufactured by Audi. No cause for concern, as Audi designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Audi for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Audi parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of an Audi logo.
