Bigger washer bottle (5ltr) in vRS?

[Steevie Wonder]

Can I get a bigger washer bottle for my car? Standard is 3 litres, but I recall the L&K had a 5 litre? Or have I just made that up.....:confused:

If anyone knows the part no. too...(presuming it exists) that would be great:thumbup:

Cheers,

Steve:)

You can certainly get one for the Fabia. I have no idea 'bout a proper vRS though

:rofl:Is it that obvious......

Snow kit from Jabba is on its way.

It's the stage 2 kit which works off the MAF sensor readings.....

There is a water ethanol mixture which can be used for the windscreen and the inector which will go in the IC-inlet manifold pipe.

Octavias that have headlight washers have a 5 litre washer bottle as standard I believe.

I think 110TDi has a 5.5 litre washer bottle fitted.....

Partnumbers for the 5 litre bottles are 8L0 955 453 B and 8L0 955 453 C. The second partnumber is for cars with a water level indicator.

[mbames]

interestingly enough the image shows 5.5l printed on the top of the bottle....

Scholar and a gentleman.

Any Elegance or L&K model or any car that's had Xenon lights fitted. You should be able to find some elegances in a scrappy

Got xenons on me mk1 octy vrs and comes with a 4.5ltr washer bottle to hold the extra for the headlight washers

[VRSPhil]

Mine (with xenons in a vRS) is 5.5L

[mbames]

mine is 5.5l on a 2001 Elegance (TDi) with normal headlamps, but I do have headlight washers.

[KenONeill]

Likewise; I think the critical point is that you get the bigger bottle with the headlight washers, and it'll fit straight in if you have the smaller one.

[mbames]

Talking of which, are they easy to get out? I seem to think that mine looks rather pinned in. It has developed a rather nasty layer of "black" inside it, which I would rather clean out than squirt through the washer jets.....

[KenONeill]

No idea, and mine has some of those little "wheat flies" floating in it.

[mbames]

I was just going to stick a hose pipe in it to flush out anything that was floating, but unfortunately that won't deal with the stuff stuck to the side of it..... Still I have more pressing matters to get on with!

[mluton]

Mine is a 5ltr bottle IIRC

[lard-ajc]

I've got a 5.5 in my 2001 Elegance, normal lights but with light washers.

However, I can only put about 2l in it as there's a leak. Does anyone know how easy it is to get the bottle out and squeeze a new on in? How much engine needs to be removed to do this?

cheers

If it's anything like other cars i've done that on it will probably just be a case of unhooking the bumper which really isn't as daunting as it sounds.
