In the process of getting this stuff together myself..
Think someone did a thread on this already with the prices attached
Could ideally do with having a good look at a car with everything fitted already so i can see what I'm short of

Hi

I'm still searching through old posts, most of the stuff posted above is copy & paste.
Bloody complicated long list lol for something that throws water at the headlights  :stupid:

I did it on my last mk5 just for the sake of it, probably cost a couple of hundred quid and that was a combo of old and new bits to complete it.

I'd suggest getting the 5.5L bottle from TPS/a dealer as it came pre drilled with the holes for all pumps and sensors you need.
As for pics, look for a guy called Maloosheck on VW Vortex as he had pictures of the routing on his.

I got the loom from Kufatec and this also gives you the low fluid warning.

no where close to OEM units the indicator/side light housing does not go the full width of the light, but mk5's getting old now so more people will start putting cheaper non OEM stuff on there cars
