hi there
i am in the process of fitting intercooler water spray to my car. every thing is ready apart from the water feed bottle. does anyone here know a washer bottle that is bigger than 4L? right now my closest thing is the washer bottle from a post 97 mondeo which is 4L.


thanks in advance
sam

Sam,

Try a VW Passat, previous version has a 5L one, not sure about current one.

Sam,

From what I can remember (its been a while since my brother owned one). It was just about square although I not sure if it was flat bottomed. All I can remember is that it took him ages to fill it

Not much help I'm afraid.

If you want to go really bit then you could always just adapt a camping water bottle (20 litres) Slow you down a bit though. Plus when it was half full it could upset the balance of the car on corners

I would suggest a stroll round an old style scrap yard. Prehaps a commercial vehicle?

Used to own a 16V Corrado and it had a 5L tank too, might have been the same as the Passat one mentioned above. No idea what it looked like as I wasn't really that interested in the asthetics of my washer bottle, sorry.
