Default CEL w/ code

well on the bright side my ebay vag works just fine for now

on the downside I got another CEL but only 1 code

this is exactly what it said:

16839 - EVAP System: Large leak detected
P0455 -35-00


I remember before it was a small leak and my mechanic told me not to worry about it but now that it's a large leak should I be worrying about it?

Make sure your gas cap is on tight.

Ya everything is running fine. The thing about the gas cap is I had the car e tested a few months ago when I baught it and the place replaced the gas cap for me so it's a brand new gas cap. Maybe because it's a standard gas cap and not an audi gas cap it might be causing problems? I was just in my garage with my chilton manual taking apart the evap system to see if i can find some broken hoses or something. Some of the hoses seem old but there's nothing that looks really out of place. I think I'm going to try replacing a few of the oldest looking hoses and buying an audi gas cap then seeing if that does the trick.
