I got no clue, but I'll say under. How much did they charge you this last time. Sounds like they're almost trying to create problems.

I would have more confidence this time as it sounds like they are looking at other sources. Last time it sounded like they were focusing on the cannister only.

Karp - they didn't charge me any..they said it was a bad hose & some supplies & usually it takes 1 hour of labor which is $75 at the dealership - But since I'm such a 'regular' customer, it was free...I no longer ask them if I had a bill inside - just say hi, take the keys to the car which is parked ready to go... :cool:

Jim - they said they did extensive testing this time with the smoke & stuff. The last time he changed the canister, he said it was an 'educated guess'. So, we shall see.

I would say find a better mechanic who know what he is doing.

So far, so good (it's about this time, when the light is back)...but maybe I have not driven it enough...I will wait till I hit the road this weekend to pass a judgement.

Side Rave:
Got one of these last weekend & I'm loving them. (I found out my phone has voice dialling !!).
