Product Overview

Active carbon/charcoal canister designed to capture and store fuel vapours from the fuel tank and EVAP system on selected Citroën and Peugeot models. This component prevents hydrocarbon emissions from escaping to atmosphere and works together with the purge valve and EVAP hoses to route stored vapours back to the engine for combustion. Frequently searched under part numbers 1502H9 and 9683409180.

Why This Part Matters

The charcoal canister is a passive but essential part of the evaporative emissions control system (EVAP). A healthy canister keeps fuel vapours contained, reduces unpleasant fuel odours, and prevents EVAP system fault codes (for example P0440, P0441, P0442, P0443, P0446) and related drivability issues. Replacing a failed canister restores correct EVAP function and helps the vehicle pass emissions inspections.

Fitment And Common Applications

Common applications include Citroën C4 and Peugeot 307 models. Many technicians and DIYers locate compatible parts by product code (1502H9, 9683409180). Always confirm fitment by matching the part number and physical mounting location on the vehicle.

Signs Of Failure

• Illuminated Check Engine Light With EVAP Codes (e.g. P0440, P0441, P0442).
• Strong Fuel Smell Around The Vehicle Or In The Cabin.
• Poor Idling Or Minor Hesitation When The Purge System Malfunctions.
• Visible Damage To The Canister Body, Broken Hoses Or Connectors.

Typical Causes Of Failure

The most common reasons the canister fails are saturation or contamination of the activated carbon (for example by liquid fuel entering the canister), physical damage from underbody impact, degraded or cracked EVAP hoses and seals, and clogging caused by debris or water ingress. In many cases the canister itself remains functional but associated components—piping, valves and seals—fail first and lead to increased loads or contamination of the canister.

Replacement And Installation

Replacement is straightforward for a competent mechanic with basic workshop tools. Typical steps:

• Locate The Canister (Usually Mounted Near The Fuel Tank Or Rear Underbody Depending On Model).
• Relieve Fuel System Vapour Pressure By Parking The Vehicle In A Ventilated Area; Avoid Open Flames.
• Remove Any Protective Panels Or Shields Securing Access To The Canister.
• Disconnect EVAP Hoses And Any Electrical Connectors (Note Position And Routing For Reassembly).
• Unbolt The Canister Bracket And Remove The Unit.
• Install The New Canister Using New Clamps Or Gaskets Where Applicable; Reconnect Hoses And Connectors In Their Original Positions.
• Perform A Leak Check And Clear EVAP-Related Diagnostic Codes With A Scanner After Replacement.

Recommended Checks During Installation: Inspect Purge Valve Operation, Replace Any Brittle Or Cracked Hoses, Verify Clamps And Mounting Brackets Are Secure.

Technical Information

• Manufacturer: Stellantis (Citroën / Peugeot)
• Model: Citroën C4; Peugeot 307
• Product Codes: 1502H9; 9683409180
• Other Numbers: Common EVAP Fault Codes: P0440, P0441, P0442, P0443, P0446; Internal References: 1502.H9

Installation Recommendations

• Use OEM-Equivalent Hoses And Clamps To Ensure Proper Sealing And Long Service Life.
• Replace Any Associated Rubber Lines If They Show Signs Of Age Or Damage.
• After Installation, Clear Fault Codes And Carry Out An EVAP System Test Or Smoke Test To Confirm No Leaks.
• Keep The Canister Dry During Fitting; Avoid Allowing Liquid Fuel Into The Unit.

Why The Part Most Commonly Breaks

Most failures are caused by fuel contamination (liquid fuel entering and saturating the carbon), physical damage from impacts, or progressive deterioration of connected hoses and seals that allow moisture and debris to enter the canister. Preventive checks of hoses and purge components during routine servicing significantly reduce premature canister failures.

The Active Charcoal Filter (EVAP Canister) for Citroën and Peugeot is designed to capture and store fuel vapors from the fuel tank, preventing hydrocarbon emissions and ensuring correct operation of the evaporative emissions system. This replacement part is suitable for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics who service Stellantis group vehicles and need a direct-fit solution to restore proper EVAP function.

Application And Compatibility

Commonly fitted to models such as Citroën C4 (including C4 II) and Peugeot 308. Frequently searched under part codes 1502H6 or 1502.H6 and associated with EVAP fault codes like P0441, P0443 and P0446. Always match the physical shape and hose/electrical connections to the vehicle before installation.

How It Works

The charcoal canister contains activated carbon that adsorbs fuel vapors from the tank. When conditions demand, the purge valve opens and the engine draws the stored vapors into the intake to be burned. The canister forms a key part of the EVAP circuit together with the purge solenoid, vent valve and associated hoses.

Typical Symptoms And Fault Codes

• Check Engine Light illuminated with EVAP-related codes (commonly P0441, P0443, P0446).
• Failed emissions test due to EVAP leaks or improper purge flow.
• Noticeable fuel odor around the rear of the vehicle in cases of a cracked or saturated canister.

Installation Recommendations

• Work On A Level Surface And Secure The Vehicle On Jack Stands If Accessing The Underside.
• Relieve Any Residual Pressure In The Fuel/Vapor Lines Before Disconnecting Hoses.
• Disconnect Electrical Connectors For Purge/Vent Solenoids Where Applicable And Label Hose Positions To Avoid Mistakes.
• Replace Any Brittle Hoses Or Worn Clamps During Reassembly; Use New Clamps To Ensure Leak-Free Connections.
• After Installation, Clear Stored Fault Codes With An OBD-II Scanner And Perform A Drive Cycle Or EVAP Test To Confirm Proper Operation.
• If The Purge Or Vent Solenoids Are Faulty, Replace Them At The Same Time To Avoid Repeat Failures.

Why This Part Most Commonly Fails

Charcoal canisters typically fail because the activated carbon becomes saturated or contaminated (for example by liquid fuel when tanks are overfilled), or because the plastic housing develops cracks from age, heat or mechanical impact. Blocked internal passages or clogged purge lines and failed solenoids can also make the system report incorrect purge flow or venting faults.

Notes For Mechanics And DIYers

This part is intended as a direct-replacement evaporative emissions canister. When replacing, inspect the entire EVAP plumbing (hoses, purge valve, vent solenoid and tank fittings) for damage or contamination. Proper sealing and correct routing of vapor lines are essential to prevent recurring fault codes and to maintain emissions compliance.

Why The Part Typically Fails

Cabin filters become ineffective primarily due to clogging with road dust, pollen, brake and tire particles and soot. Clogged media reduces airflow, causes weaker heating and cooling performance, increases cabin odours and can contribute to rapid fogging of the windshield. In humid or polluted environments, moisture retention can also promote microbial growth and unpleasant smells. Physical damage or improper installation can also compromise filtration efficiency.

Installation Recommendations

Location: The cabin filter is located in the HVAC intake area (commonly behind the glovebox or under the cowl on the passenger side on these models). Access method can vary slightly by model year.

1. Park Vehicle Safely And Cut Electrical Loads.
2. Remove Glovebox Or Cowl Cover To Expose Filter Housing (Use Trim Tool Or Screwdriver As Required).
3. Unclip Or Unscrew The Filter Cover And Carefully Slide Out The Old Filter.
4. Inspect And Clean The Filter Housing And Drain Channels From Leaves Or Debris.
5. Insert New Filter With Correct Airflow Orientation (Follow Arrow Marking On Filter).
6. Reassemble Components And Perform A Quick HVAC Function Check For Airflow And Odour.

Tools Typically Required: Basic Screwdrivers, Trim Removal Tool, Shop Cloth. Take Care Not To Damage Seals, Clips Or The Blower Unit. Replace The Filter With The Airflow Arrow Pointing Toward The Cabin.

Service Interval

Recommended Replacement Interval: Typically Every 15,000–30,000 Km Or Every 12–24 Months, Depending On Driving Conditions. In Heavily Polluted Or Dusty Areas, Replace More Frequently.
