N80 - EVAP Purge Valves - Volkswagen Golf MK5/MK6

The primary function of the purge valve (N80) is to capture fuel vapor from the fuel tank and return it to the fuel system so that it can be burned in the engine instead of being released into the air. The purge valve is also used to tests for vapor leaks by pulling a vacuum.

5 Symptoms of a Bad Vapor Canister Purge Valve 

  • Check Engine Light
  • Rough Idle
  • Trouble Starting Car
  • Poor Engine Performance
  • Emissions Test Failure

 We have a range of N80 purge valves for the MK5 (EA113) and MK6 (EA888) platform.

Minor Service - Oil Service

Every 10k is a minor service - oil and filter. Do not follow the factory 15K and go 7k for tuned vehicles. Oil is cheap, engines are not!

Intermediate Service

Every 30k is an intermediate service - oil and filter, cabin filter & air filter, brake fluid flush, remote batteries.

Major Service

Every 60k is a major service - oil and filter, cabin filter & air filter, remote batteries, brake fluid flush, fuel filter, DSG gearbox oil and filter (unless automatic, manual, tiptronic or multitronic), spark plugs and haldex oil.

Additional: Water pump & timing belt and poly belt on belt driven engines should be done every 60k.

Intermediate Service

Every 90k is another intermediate service - same as 30k plus a poly belt / accessory belt.

Replace Haldex fluid every 30k rather than 60k, Gearbox oil change at 40k for DSG is advised. Front and rear differential oils are "longlife" but replace every 60k to be safe.
