Nah its under the scuttle panel, its a coke bottle with a hose fitted to it. I dont drive in the rain so i only fitted it for MOT purposes.

 

[acidstrato]

ah ghetto! less weight too

 

[rhysox]

i keep thinking these little 'removals' of various underbonnet items like washer bottles, air con etc wouldn't make much of a difference. but i guess their collected weight is quite a lot and does make a difference!

 

[Myki da Pyki]

You couldnt do without your aircon rhys lol, does have a little gain tho as it takes weight and tension off the crank shaft. Ive seen others with smaller washer bottles so they can get the intercooler pipework down there, cant remember if it was off the mk1 or mk2 golf tho

 

[PhilW]

Not much is it? lmao.

 

[rhysox]

why do you want a 3bar fpr phil? thought you had a 4bar

 

[PhilW]

3bar is for Revo stage 3, they run 550's @ 3bar.

 

[rhysox]

oh right, well i've got a 3bar if you wanted to do an exchange (+cash or something) as i'm gonna go 4bar soon anyway for stage2

 

[Forbez]

I may still have my old 3 bar phil, which you can have for the pricely sum of feck all!

[PhilW]

aye but the standard washer bottle is like 5L volume, thats gotta be pretty heavy when even half filled.

 

[PhilW]

Have you actually picked up a SAI pump and aircon pump?

I reckon, by removing, aircon pump, rad and hoses, stupid weight on the chasis, battery in the boot, EVAP cannister, washer tank, header tank all the **** on the top of the engine its gotta be like 20-30kg's off the front end.

[nogutsnoglory]

[PhilW]

No pics of it attached, just ppushed it onto the spikes that are on the back of the bumper and it holds in place nicely.

 

[nogutsnoglory]

[PhilW]

Yeah it is. Perfect size as well.
