Never heard of the D2 having a charcol canister.

Are you sure you dont just have the leaking fuel pump top where the sender connects, its a very common problem and several members on here including myself have had it. Usually most obvious just after filling to the top but can occur any time. You'll not see any leaking petrol as it leaks out and evaporates over the top of the fuel tank.

Fill up the car so the tank is full, Open boot, remove carpet, remove cover from the right hand side rear of the boot. You are now looking at the fuel pump, the top of mine was soaking in petrol after filling causing a petrol smell both inside and outside the car but it was strongest inside.

I replaced mine using the repair kit from Audi, and all was fine afterwards, no smell, no leaks etc.
