I used the original mk2 item and put it behind the passener wing so that the top comes through a vacant hole in the bay. Fits very well and easy to fill aswell. There is a pic of it here, http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh272/benrevs/Image003-3.jpg

some corrado and MK2 g60 have the bottle moved up behind the battery, the studs required to mount it are on the MK2 chassis leg also. it has a hose which runs down to a T piece where the square bottle used to be :)

Did you buy these recently? I need to do this to clean up the path of my intercooler pipes. Could you post the part number.

Cheers, Andy

Same bottle and mounts found in many Passats, too.

And Cordobas I think.

Anything with a cable-change box basically.
