VW Vapor Canister Purge Valve Hose - Genuine VW 5C0133366AM

Product Information

A vapor canister purge solenoid is an electrical component in a vehicle's evaporative emission control (EVAP) system. It controls the flow of fuel vapors from the vapor canister into the engine's intake manifold, allowing these vapors to be burned during combustion. This process helps reduce emissions and maintain engine efficiency.

• Check Engine Light: A malfunctioning purge solenoid can trigger the check engine light, often accompanied by specific trouble codes related to the EVAP system
• Increased Emissions: A malfunctioning purge solenoid can result in higher levels of harmful emissions, potentially causing the vehicle to fail emissions tests
• Evaporative Emission Control System Leaks: If the solenoid is damaged, it may lead to leaks in the EVAP system, which can affect the vehicle's overall emissions performance.

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW 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 VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
