    evap canister replacement - OEM or eBay (China)?

    Was quoted $350+ for a replacement from VW including the hose attachment. Equivalent kits (same part no's) from China on eBay can be had for <$50.

    Will I regret going the cheap route?

    I got a China canister for my Mk6 GTI and it worked fine. I figured that even if i had to replace it several times i would still be in front. Cost was around $60 from memory.

    Purchased the evap from China, but purchased the tube from Vw (the Chinese tube had a big kink in it).
    Seems to be fine.

    It arrived after about approximately two weeks, fitted into the car and the CEL is now gone!
