[928uk] Windscreen washer bottle

[Duncan Fuller]

Just to add, having checked the parts diagram, that it’s the one on the bottom of the tank that supplies the headlight washers.

In my case that pump was leaking.  The new pumps that you get now are from, if I remember it correctly, a 996 and whilst the fluid connections matched up the electrical connection was different.  Standard VW style connection, though, so I managed to find the appropriate connector online so easy enough to adapt the wiring.

Regards
Duncan
