Has anybody change the washer bottle from 2 ltr to 5lt on a Octavia Mk2

piddling little bottle.

Thx

Paul.

didnt know you could do that. but it is something i would look into as its a pain on log journeys

Thx simon

Well i am going to try it and i will be the first

Regards

Paul.

Is it only the xenon ones that came with 5L? I thought they all did

Anything with washer jets will come with the 5L and I have no idea about those without the washer jets.

From the manual, P264:

The filling level[/b'] of the container is 3 litres, 5.5 litres on vehicles which also have a headlight washing system.

HTH,

Steve

It can be done .... there was thread on here a couple of months back with full details and pix - do a search!

But I bet you don't rush to do it - loads of bits to be removed in order to get at the bottle and drop it out before installing the replacement larger one.

It's easier to get a second hand bottle and then get the part numbers for the rest of the car. You then build the new bits around the second hand bottle.

surely put a 10L jerrican in the boot and run 2m of silicone hose into the old bottle to siphon the contents as needed

Obviously the container in the boot needs to be up on a telephone directory for the siphoning to work.....
