My receipt is long gone but I think it's 1K0 955 453 S - try TPS or the dealer to confirm it is the 5.5L version

I have a 5.5 ltr bottle, you would need to make the hole for the washer sensor and headlight washer pump

my bottle is

1K0 955 453 Q
1K0 955 453 R
1K0 955 453 S

Dunno about the bottle, but the pump is nearly 60 quid. I know this from when a fox broke mine in half with his head!

ETKA's showing the S revision as 5.5LT, and the H revision as a 3.6LT

So "S" it is  :happy2:

£40.46

Cheers guys, tbf, I haven't fully investigated the problem, but it's definitely leaking from the the offside front (Not majorily but certainly some), been doing it for a couple of weeks (not coolant / brake fluid / oil).

Is it front bumper off to swap out.  I'm hoping it's the bottle / pipe - no VCDS error messages so assuming not the pump.

@ Eddie; What's the score with having to make new holes for the bottle mate, is that a standard requirement, or do you have a slightly different version..?

Edit:
@ Skard and Freddy, cheers mate, really helpful that :happy2:

It depends on what equipment is fitted

the bottle is the same

Screen washer

Screen washer & Level sensor

Screen Washer & Level Sensor & Headlight washer

Cheers mate, but now I'm confused lol (doesn't take much).

What's the point in the three different model numbers for the 5.5L?

5.5L Washer Bottles
1K0 955 453 Q
1K0 955 453 R
1K0 955 453 S

Does that suggest that the "S" variant has pre-cut holes for Level Sensor & Headlight washer?  If so, I'd be grabbing that one to save hacking at it.

the S version probably does come with the holes pre-done

my bottle has all 3x part numbers on it, as would they all
