The purge valve opens to allow all the vapors that are captured from the fuel tank (especially during fill ups) to be recycled to the engine to be burnt once the engine has reached certain performance parameters. There are two lines attached to the valve. Even though it is very difficult to mix them up, as they are different sizes, pay attention and make sure you install the valve in the right direction. The line out from the valve to the connection by the throttle body is indicated by an arrow. You are going to destroy the factory clamps when you replace the valve so make sure you order replacement hose clamps when ordering the valve.

Crankshaft Positioning Sensor Replacement - C Class - W204 - Mercedes-Benz Crankshaft Positioning Sensor Replacement Time: 2 hours Tab: $20 to $40 Talent: 1 Tools: T30 Torx Applicable Models: Mercedes-Benz C350 (2008-14) Mercedes-Benz GLK350 (2010-14) Parts Required: Crankshaft positioning sensor Hot Tip: Use a mirror Performance Gain: Smoother running car Complementary Modification: Replace Camshaft positioning sensors Your fuel injection computer (DME) may output a code that indicates a faulty camshaft position sensor (CPS). This important sensor tells the car's computer where the flywheel is located in relation to the combustion cycle. The DME takes the signals from both the cam position sensor and crankshaft position sensor, and calculates when to fire the fuel injectors and spark plugs. If the crankshaft position sensor is not operating properly, your car will run very erratically or perhaps not at all. Replacement of the sensor is not as easy as the camshaf...
