REALLY?

did you even try or you just decided it would be faster to create a new topic, wait couple hours/days if someone decides to actually spend time on such a question that literally takes 3 seconds to find the answer on google?

IIRC for BXA the evap valve will be directly above the oil filter housing between the firewall and left side of intake behind left throttle body.

because you and majority of new members here are making new topics without any search before, google or forum itself.
and then bounce out of the forum faster then they arrived and never participate with anything or even say thank you when someone does reply.

P.S. it literally took 5 seconds to find the location of that thing on google. Make work on your google search keywords

Yes the Engine Code BXA is the C6 S6 V10.

You will get used to seeing the valve as you have to disconnect it in order to replace the oil filter during oil changes.

Brave to start your Audi adventure with a BXA 👍

Recommend to start reading ahead for an engine pull as sooner or later it will be needed for a shopping list of items like cam girdle gaskets, alternator, power steering pump, chain maintenance, etc.
