Womala Canister Purge Solenoid Valve LR044012 for Land Rover Freelander 2

Product Overview

The Vapor Canister Purge Valve LR044012 is an OE-grade emissions control component for the for Land Rover Freelander 2 (L359). Also known as a canister solenoid valve or purge control valve, this component regulates the flow of fuel vapors from the charcoal canister into the engine intake manifold-. During engine operation, the valve opens under ECU command to draw stored fuel vapors from the canister into the combustion chamber, where they are burned rather than released into the atmosphere-. This process reduces hydrocarbon emissions and improves fuel efficiency. LR044012 replaces LR032112.

Key Features

• Precision solenoid operation – ECU-controlled opening and closing for optimal purge timing

• OE-grade quality – direct OEM replacement meeting Land Rover specifications

• Direct-fit replacement – matches factory mounting and hose connections

• Reduces emissions – prevents fuel vapors from escaping to atmosphere

• Improves fuel economy – recaptures evaporated fuel for combustion

OE Cross-Reference

💡 LR044012 supersedes LR032112. Both part numbers refer to the same component.

Vehicle Fitment

⚠️ Important: The 2.0L Si4 turbo petrol engine replaced the 3.2L Si6 from the 2012 model year in most markets-. This purge valve fits all Freelander 2 petrol and diesel variants. Fitment may vary by production date and market specification.

Signs of Failure

• Check engine light – EVAP system-related DTCs (P0441, P0442, P0446, etc.)-

• Rough idle or stalling – purge valve stuck open causing vacuum leak-

• Difficulty starting after refueling – vapor pressure imbalance

• Failed emissions test – elevated evaporative emissions

• Fuel odor – smell of gasoline around the vehicle

💡 A purge valve stuck open will fail its leak testing and can cause drivability issues-. If the valve is stuck closed, fuel vapors cannot be purged from the canister, leading to EVAP system pressure buildup.

Critical – Verify Your VIN Before Ordering

EVAP system components are VIN‑, engine‑, and market‑specific. Variations in production date, engine type (petrol vs. diesel), and regional emissions specifications affect fitment. Provide your VIN – our team confirms exact compatibility before dispatch.

💡 Installation Tip: Professional installation recommended. The purge valve is typically located on or near the charcoal canister-. Disconnect the battery ground cable before removal-. Inspect all vapor hoses for cracks or damage during replacement.
