I recently had a check engine light come on and the dealer says the problem is a carbon canister leak. Porsche is telling them that they no longer make the part. Other used part sources they tried no longer supply the part because it must be shipped with hazardous materials because the part may contain full vapor. They also state that the canister itself can't be repaired because of the location of the leak.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

I too have P1497's and CEL on wife;s 09 C4S Cab
I've been searching.........here is one possible.

Other ideas welcome.

 

Yes -that looks like the part. Price is the same as the only other new one I found. We ended up using a used part.

 

Updated info.......whole canister should not be needed.
Filters are available and cheap........main issue will be the sensor......old# was 997 6051 2501.....new & correct is 958 6051 0700……$350.
