Does the golf use a larger washer bottle for Xenon equipped cars?

5.5L i think, for cars with washers.

I wonder if this applies to the R32. I'm forever running out of fluid, I've always assumed I had a smaller washer bottle because of the amount space the engine occupies.

IIRC any mk5 with headlight washers comes with 5.5L tank too.

hi,

i have retrofitted some angel eye projector headlights to my 2004 tdi 2.0 GT and would like to fit some HID xenons to finish it off.

i know under the new 2012 MOT regulations headlamp washers and autolevellers are required to be legal.

does anyone know if someone retrofits these ?

i think its abit above me to do it

thanks

Hi
That would be a good start. I am in Bromsgrove Worcestershire but can travel if required

i can see your in norfolk - about 2.5 hours each way which i can do.

Would be interested in supply and fit or fit only as I could source parts from eBay and vw

Many thanks

Ant

Jets are the same I believe

Moulding depends on the age of your GT sport and what bumper it has

I went through one of the grommets above the dash at the back, but theres various grommets you can go through to get it into the car.
