There's a list of parts here http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,10291.0.html (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,10291.0.html)

Here's an idea of how it is routed http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4146014 (http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4146014).

Don't forget you'll need a wiring loom from Kufatec and VCDS to enable it and also low washer level warning.

When I did it I routed the wiring in from the drivers side where there's a grommet nicely positioned near where you want wires to go (you'll have to remove the wiper arms and scuttle panel) as I doubt the loom is long enough to go via the grommet behind the battery.
