Purge valve cut open

[BigLee]

Had a bad purge valve laying around, and thought I'd cut it open to see exactly how it's made.
The vapors flow in around the outside of the coil, to the silicone rubber seal that seats on the plastic ring,
The seal is mounted on a spring loaded disc that's drawn towards the solenoid coil wen energized (open).
The vapors then flow out to the intake manifold.
This one is from a 1.4, but I'm sure the one for the 1.8 is internally the same.

That's neat, thanks for sharing!
