How big is windscreen washer bottle?
« on: 20 February 2016, 11:57 »
Was topping up the windscreen washer bottle as light came on. Felt like I was putting in loads of water...! Worried it has a leak but the light only came on recently

How big is the bottle?

If you've got headlamp washers it's 5.5 litres. If not, it's 3.6 litres.

I fill mine up once a week - the headlight washers absolutely cane it!

My mk6 GTD had the winter pack and it definitely took 5 litres. I know this as I use a 3 litre squash bottle to fill it.  Maybe yours is lying about it being empty.  Or they never fit the larger bottle with xenon only. It's mentioned in the winter pack extras.

Are you sure you have washers? All GTI/D models have the washer covers in the bumper, regardless of whether they have headlight washers or not.

That said, when my warning light comes on, I can only get about 1.5 litres of screenwash in mine.
