Question about a component

Hello,
I was just wondering if somebody could tell me what the component is on the far right of my photo.
The one that is shaped like a cylinder with a grey plug attached at the top of it.

Thanks!

Are you talking about the ticking purge valve?

VVF,
The link you provided helped. Thank you. So do you know if it's supposed to be ticking? I read the link you provided but didn't really seem clear. Mine is definitely ticking.

As far as I understand they start ticking with age, but that's not a big deal (?)
To stop the ticking you have to replace the thing.

Also read this thread with a cheap fix by levelr123g, post #11: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...rge-valve.html
