Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah, I saw something about the purge valve too. Where is it located? Also, I forgot to mention it has just under 40000 km. Do you think I should try cleaning the hoses before replacing any parts?

Cleaning might help, but in my case, the valve itself was the problem. It's a common issue apparently. I ended up taking it to a workshop to get it sorted. They did a smoke test and confirmed the leak in the EVAP system. Honestly, it might save you some time and hassle to get it checked professionally.

Thanks a lot! I took your advice and brought it to a mechanic. Turns out you were right; it was the tank ventilation valve. They replaced it and cleared the error codes. Cost me 175€, but at least it's running smoothly now! Really appreciate the help.

I had a similar issue with my XTrail a while back! The EVAP system can be a real pain. Have you checked the purge valve? Sometimes a faulty purge valve can cause similar symptoms. Also, how many miles are on it?
