XKR 2002 Purge Valve
Hi all, I am a "new" owner of a 2002 XKR coupe w/68,000 miles.
It runs fine with the exception of a fuel odor leaking into the cabin.
A few internet searches reveal that this problem isn't uncommon with this car. I understand that a few TSBs were released for this problem, but I can't find the full text for any of them (just summaries online).
The dealer service report says that they got a P0455 code, and ran a smoke test which found no leaks. They suspect an intermittent sticking "evap purge valve".The dealer wants to charge me $500 to replace it - 210 for the part and ~300 for the labor.
1) Can I obtain the part for cheaper than $210?
2) Is this a part I can replace myself?
Thanks all!
