    Looks like an oil or cooler line, but that box has me scratching my head

    Yeah, that box with a single hose looks pretty enigmatic.

    That is not an oil cooler or catch can. Appears to be either an EVAP or vacuum canister.

    Charcoal canister on the 1.0 cars it seems. The US spec 1.2 cars have the charcoal canister under the trunk floor.

    If you look at the pictures of the Ultra Racing rear sway bar, they don't have a charcoal canistser under the trunk floor.

    Australia didn't get the 1.0 engine.
    I'll have a look at what it goes to tomorrow when it's light outside.

    I have been wondering what that box was for. Looks terrible from behind.

    Did we ever figure out the black box? I'm going with vacuum canister.

    Looks like a charcoal canister. Any updates?
