Description
Electromagnetic Valve For Charcoal Canister VALEO
High-quality Electromagnetic Purge Valve compatible with Citroën and Peugeot models from the Stellantis family. This EVAP purge valve (charcoal canister valve) controls the flow of fuel vapors from the charcoal canister to the intake manifold, helping maintain correct evaporative emissions control, prevent fuel odors and avoid an illuminated Check Engine Lamp due to EVAP system faults. Commonly searched under OE and aftermarket references, this part is suitable for professional workshops and experienced DIYers who perform maintenance and emission-system repairs.
Key Benefits
Restores proper EVAP purge function and helps eliminate vapor leaks and related fault codes. Easy replacement design for direct-fit applications — ideal for mechanics and serious DIY enthusiasts. Compatible with original Stellantis references and aftermarket equivalents listed below.

Installation Recommendations
Replacement is straightforward for trained technicians and competent DIYers. Typical procedure:
- Park the vehicle on a level surface and work with the engine cool. If performing electrical work, disconnect the negative battery terminal following safe workshop practice.
- Locate the charcoal canister and purge valve (usually in the engine bay or near the canister close to the fuel tank depending on model).
- Depressurize the fuel/EVAP lines if necessary, then unplug the electrical connector and remove vacuum/hoses from the valve. Mark hose positions to avoid incorrect reconnection.
- Remove mounting screws or clips and replace with the new valve. Ensure sealing surfaces and hoses are clean and undamaged; replace any brittle vacuum hoses or O-rings.
- Reinstall hoses and connector, reconnect the battery if disconnected, and clear EVAP-related diagnostic trouble codes if present. Perform a functional check: listen for valve actuation during key-on/engine-run or run a diagnostic EVAP purge command where available.
Most Common Causes Of Failure
- Carbon buildup and contamination from fuel vapors causing the valve to stick open or closed.
- Electrical failures in the valve coil or connector corrosion leading to loss of actuation.
- Cracked or collapsed vacuum hoses and poor sealing, producing intermittent faults and vapor leaks.
- Aging and heat-related degradation — lifetime depends on driving conditions but failures commonly appear after extended mileage and exposure to contaminants.
Notes For Buyers
This part is frequently identified by its product numbers (0280142317, 2580008C, 2580008B, 16287G), so searching by those references speeds up finding the correct unit. Suitable for workshops and DIY repairs where EVAP system integrity and emission control are required. If diagnostic equipment is available, verify EVAP fault codes and perform a commanded purge test after installation to confirm correct operation.
