Default Where is the leak detection pump 97 A8 4.2

I have a 1997 A8 4.2. I cannot find where the leak detection pump is in the car. I am getting a fault code and cannot for the life of me find the component. I want to do the resistance test (as the Bently states) but can't find it.

Default Tried there couldn't find it - Anyone have pictures???

I looked in the left (drivers) rear wheel liner. Anyone have an idea how big this thing is, I am guessing about the same size as a deck of cards or so. I would love a picture of this.

Default It's about the size of a softball if memory serves...

That was one of the first things to go on our 1st C5 Avant. It was definitely where Neil says, you pretty much need to take 80% of the wheel liner out working from the rear, as it sits in a pocket back in there. Sorry, no picture. Don't be surprised if you've got to replace it.

Default How far from the canister is it?

I found the rectangular charcoal canister in the driver's side rear wheel well, any idea where this thing is in relation to that?

Everything I have read in Bentley said that the '97 was the only year not to get the LDP.

What exactly did your code say?
