EVAP control system...

The garage says I need a new EVAP canister, but that it won't have any effect on drivability if I wait to replace it... Is that right?

Mechanic also said that the canisters run at about $400-$500!!!

Does anyone have a parts list, or know where I could confirm this price?

Seems pretty f-ing steep to me...

Cheers

I'm 90% sure theyre only like $40-60 new

 

I thought my mechanic was cool... Looks like he's trying to shaft me... The Haynes replacement instructions don't seem too difficult... Maybe I'll do it myself...

Do you know where I can pick up a replacement?

Thanks

You can pick up a replacement from jrnissanparts.com - I just checked their website - for CA emissions its about $140 for the charcoal canister, 40-50 bucks for the rest of us.. you may want to call them and find out the exact part number you need since several parts are showing up for a 98 SE.

Hope that helps.

I went to nissan for that same part and they said $175 so your mechanic don't know what he's talking about.
