Removing, checking and installing the adsorber purge valve Opel Astra H

To check and install the canister purge valve in an Opel Astra car, you will need a TORX E10 socket head.

1. Disconnect a wire from the minus plug of the storage battery.

2. Squeeze the spring clip of the wiring harness block of the canister purge solenoid valve ...

3. ... and disconnect the block from the valve.

4. Disconnect from the valve the steam line for supplying fuel vapor from the adsorber by squeezing the clamps for fastening the tip of the pipeline.

5. Turn out two bolts of fastening of the valve to an arm on an inlet pipe...

6. ... and remove the valve by removing its fitting from the fuel vapor supply hose to the intake pipe.

Note

This is how the canister purge solenoid valve removed from the Opel Astra car looks like. Pay attention to its marking so that when replacing, install the same valve.

7. To check the valve, attach a rubber bulb to the outlet fitting of the valve with a piece of hose and squeeze it. The air should exit through the valve, and the pear should remain in a compressed state after the impact on it has ceased.

8. Then connect a 12 V DC source to the valve terminals - the valve should open, and the vacuum should disappear (the pear will straighten out and when you press it again and release it, air will be freely pumped through the valve in both directions). Otherwise, replace the valve.

9. Install the canister purge solenoid valve in the reverse order of removal.
