Hi Guys
Can anyone tell me what the small plastic tank high up in the offside wheelarch (behind the plastic arch cover)of a 2002 Saxo 1.1 does please. The reason I ask is that I have managed to break the two hose connections going to it. I connected the two hoses together and the car seems to be ok but what do they do? Will I need to get a new one or can I safely leave it as is. Any help mush appreciated.
Dave

No its definately not that. Its too high up and further back towards the screen with two small hose connections to it.

it is the charcoal canister,ideally you want to replace it as it stores fuel vapour.
