WASHER LEVEL SENSOR

[Robb077]

Hi, everyone. I'm Mk4 owner without winter pack and I think about my first modification: how to add washer level sensor? However since I saw this photo below I'm sure that in all Mk4 this element is integrated with washer bottle.
So my question is: anybody know how connect this sensor to car wiring?
I’ve found more information on Mk 3 forum but I don’t know that I can connect wire in the same way.

Thanks in advance

I think that the second picture just shows where the sensor and so its signal/power connector would be located in a washer fluid container that had a fluid level sensor fitted to it.

Nothing is impossible, but it would be easier to retro fit "washer fluid level warning" to a washer container that, as in the past, just had an area/point marked in the plastic that you only had to drill/cut out and push in a sensor - then make up wiring. Hopefully the instrument pod has the correct interface to accept this upgrade and just needs the wiring and software adapting/recoded to get this working.

Maybe a job for researching if this has been done already by looking on all SEAT/Volkswagon/Skoda same age Leon/Golf/Octavia areas of motoring forums.

Edit:- I have just noticed that you are based in Poland, people over there are more resourceful than most others, maybe check up or find the website(s) in Poland that provide retrofit kits for VW Group cars and ask them this question if they are not already offering a kit for this upgrade.

Just find a damaged car in the breakers and get a complete unit?
