Fuel vent valve Opel Astra

[Jam Racing]

Hello guys. I drive a 2000 Opel Astra 1.6 16v.The other day the engine check light suddenly came on. Took it to a guy who read fault codes. Showed four faults. He cleared error codes. We started car and immediately fuel vent valve error came back up. He did not know where it was. I spoke to Opel agents and nothing shows up on engine harness side. Do the Astra s in South Africa not have this parts fitted. Thanks for help in advance. Car is running 100%. Just fitted rings and had head overhauled. Car had done 248000 km

Opel astra g 1.6 16v 2001 cde

Good day, I need some advice or help. I did a diagnostic test on my car and the error code was p0443(purge valve). But the problem is my model don't have a purge valve but the electric plug is there. The electric plug was bypassed with a resistor and it looks like it was factory made like that...

See if you can follow these diagrams, it looks like it is somewhere close to the intake, that looks like a strut mounting so it should not be too difficult to find, you can also follow the fuel lines.

Not sure if it's the same thing.

I think it should be the same location as the Zafira.

Thanks no valve fitted but wires are there. Apparently the wires have a cap on them with a resistor inside. I think resistor had blown putting light on. Thanks for help appreciated

Were you able to test the other one with a multimeter?
