From what I have read its supposed to be next to Airbox. I look today and I can't find it anywhere by the airbox or behind the motor. I am just trying to double check the vacuum lines going to it before I order a new valve. I'm trying to get rid of this EVAP CEL I keep getting.

on passenger side. Possibly someone with a Bentley can post a picture. Or search the archives as I believe there are pics here on the forum of a purge valve. The purge valve is easy to change by yourself. The other possibility that could be causing purge valves to go bad is the charcoal cannister back by the gas tank. This cannister catches all the overflow that inevitably happens when you try and top off your gas tank. Which is why after I had my charcoal cannister changed I NEVER topped off the gas tank. You could also try a new gas cap which is pretty cheap.
Good Luck. I chased my EVAP CEL for a couple of years before I got it.

I found s thread about replacing it on a D2. It seems to be in a completely different location. I think its down by the firewall. Just thought someone might know off hand, or better yet have a pic. I already changed the gas cap. No dice on that. I'm just trying to eliminate the cheap stuff before I buy the valve. Thanks for the advice though guys
