think it will be cheaper to buy a whole new bottle from the main stealers, i think someone has on here before and it was only £28 i think? :undecided:

should be less; i've been quoted £18 for the larger 5.5L bottle; think the small one is £10, nit sure how much the sensor part is

o right maybe it was £28 with the sensor but i cant be sure? i worked on a mk3 with a 5.5l bottle today, i dont think theres room for 1 of they in a mk4, but i could wrong again!!! :undecided:
I must warn you I'm about as decisive as a 5 yr old in a sweet shop!!  :grin:

Yeah both of my mirrors are heated.

So if my washer bottle hasn't got a sensor in it it should be a case of buying the bigger tank and swapping over? Will all the wiring be there to hook it up to?
