is there anywhere cheaper can source a bigger bottle.. or is it a scrap yard search 

[vwprime]

IIRC there is a bolt holding it  at the bottom and the only way to get the bottle  out is by removing the bumper and headlight.  It's physically impossible otherwise

The part number is for the larger bottle 

For the the price i'd get a new one.  Don't forget your washer fluid too 

I took my bottle out not so long agow as it was pissing out with liquid and i didn't have to take the light or the bumper off. Granted it was trick but i was able to do this. Small bottle mind you not he 5L one. I thort i fixed the thing only to put it all back together and find it was not the place i thort it was. I now think it's the rubber gromit the pump pushes through into the bottle. This has split and alowing the liquid out

mornign mate.
it took me about 30 mins to get the bottle out. With a little pulling and shuving it came out. Disconected the pipes to the motor and the wires. Then palled the motor out. The undid the the 2 plastic 10mm bolt/washer combo. This is the hard est bit as its a little tricky to get to but not inposable. You then just move the bottle out

HI folks - Just had a look at the washer bottle today and found that one of the hoses that comes off one of the washer motors (the one behind the washer bottle as you look at it) had simply come off and thats why the flippin thing was emptying the entire contents on the floor......Think this happened when the bottle froze and the ice expanded and luckily for me the pipe just came off instead of cracking the bottle...

Might be worth a look for anyone else thats havin this problem before you buy another bottle just to check that the  plumbing pipes are connected first...might save a few quid..

I still had to take the bumper off and headlight out to get at it though... Pain in the aris...
