thread getting a funny twist lol.

curzon there is such things as aftermarket products...as in off the shelf ;)

If that washer bottles 12 months old i'll stand corrected...but somehow i think i'll be right :whistle:
That bottle has probably been sat in some VAG factory in Germany since 2000 and on someones car since 2002. No one selling a washer bottle puts its strong point as "12 months old" they just say "Er yeh holds water basically" :D

Anyways if he bought it yesterday it should turn up tomorrow/monday so i'll pop down and have a look then see this spanking washer bottle ;)

Got my ebay washer bottle this morning. Its bloody tiny lol, but that suits me fine as it will fix perfectly to the rear seat area.

I`ve tryed the VAG pump and it fits with no mods what so ever meaning all standard fittings IE the plug can be kept! :D

Happy days :D

Nice one Benny, that'll make life easier :)

Gonna try and mount mine in front of the carbon canister where the current bottle sits. Should leave plenty of clearance by the sounds of it then :D

Finished fitting mine in the boot today, works perfectly, as i dont run a rear washer i connected the pump to the existing rear pipe and connected the two washer pipes in the bay together and it works perfectly fine.

Ill post some pics up fitted once ive sprayed it up.

Nice cheap mod :)

One of mine, installed.
