Is it just me or is their a reason why the windscreen washer bottle is so big, looks like it could hold enough water for a full car wash , perhaps its compensating for poor pump performance? im stumped

Thinking of replacing it with something aftermarket 1/4 the size and using the space underneath for an oil cooler

Because they could?

Headlamp wash uses loads especially when the pipes come off....

Make it smaller and fir your cooler. No reason for a big tank you will just haev to top it up more often...

The headlight washer pump and hoses were huge compared to the windscreen washer.
Used lots of water to run.

Aint been here in AGES!!!

Back to the normal sparky hi-jacking someones threads

I dont have a windshield washer system at all right now.. thats on the list of things to buy.. I should get away with just going to a breakers yard and finding one that should fit in the engine bay right?

Or is there any reason to.. stay.. original?

Got some stuff done on my car too.. and the front pop up lights will be replaced in the next few weeks

(waiting for dudes to finish making product)

Ill post later in the general section with all updates and questions

They designed it that way to achieve 50-50 weight ratio. When empty, no downforce, handles like crap. Fill it up, handles the way it should.

it's that big so you won't need a new tank for your meth injection

at least, that's why mine is so big

I made it smaller by cutting lower part aaway and melting a piece of plastic from the leftover lower part. This way I was able to fit oil cooler there.

Porsche manual page 82 states in rare instances if you should overhead put in water from a full washer tank.

works great used it once.

I don't know why no one ever memtioned it before.
