2012 CL63 Coupe: Purge Valve location?

I'm interested in switching out the Purge Valve on my 2012 CL63 Coupe. I have found the part (roughly $60) and am hoping someone can tell me where it is located in the car. I'd like to get eyes on the part before ordering. Any related information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I found a picture in WIS but it does not show a location on the car. It should be in the fuel/evaporative system lines somewhere (that is no help right). I will keep looking.

Thanks, MBWillgrubs. I appreciate the effort. If I can just take a look at the part, I may be able to replace it myself, or at the very least have a local guy (former MB tech for 26 yrs) switch the part out. I particularly interested to see if there is anything tricky locking the purge valve in place. I don't want any surprises once the job has begun.
Thanks again.

MBs of this time period usually have the purge valve under hood on the drivers/left side forward of the brake booster near the fender. Not hard to find usually, the part looks out of place with a couple of small diameter hoses plugged into it. And a harness connector.

Thank you Chassis. Very much appreciated !! And thank you ImaNoob !! Cannot thank you enough. I'm fairly new to MB ownership and the help I receive from this site in invaluable to me. I'm going to take a look at the diagram and under the hood in the next day or two. Starting to think I may be able to get this done painlessly.
The OEM part is about $77. Even if I pay a friend to assist me, I will get away cheap.

Happy Thanksgiving !
