Washer reservoir

Brent 930 · 06-29-2004, 09:30 AM

I'm looking to get a smaller washer reservoir to go in the stock location. Anyone know where to get one that will work. I figure 1-1.5 gal. capacity should do it. I still want to use the port at the gas lid to fill it up.

Thanks,

Brent,

Why are you looking for a smaller washer bottle? Do you have a slant nose? If so, the factory slant nose had a smaller washer bottle. Unfortunately, to get one from a dealer, you will have to give up your first born or a kidney.

My front tire will hit it and I can't move it forward any.

Thanks

Cut the one you have up and re-glue it.

I...don't...think so. My car will stay nice and high quality.

You could remove the stock one an d replace w/ a964 RS unit like this

Where can you get one of those. Is it a standard 964 piece or specific to the RS model? I didn't see anything like it in the Pelican site.

This is the info provided to me byBob Lynch(I think, If I am wrong I apoligize in advance)

964.501.261.00 Support bracket
964.528.019.00 Bottle(maybe supercession to .02)
911.628.077.00 Cap
999.181.722.40 Water hose, pump to windshield
431.955.651 Pump (may be same as you have in fender)
431.955.465.B Seal under pump
010.215.18 6x15 mm bolt bottle to bracket
011.666.7 washer under bolt

To install you will have to weld or pop rivet the bracket to the body. If you use pop rivets then don't forget to cover with body sealant on underside of fender. The position of the bracket is given in the 964 shop manual at the end of the body section in the section on conversion of body in white to an RS.

The trick I did was fabricate a harness using the factory male and female plug ends which I think are Porsche parts 815.971.989.A and 815.971.988. If not, then VW/Audi numbers 161.871.989 and 161.971.988 work. You will also need to get the special blade terminals that snap in the plastic plugs at the dealer. Shrink wrap the harness and lead it from the original pump plug to the new location and you are good to go for electricity. The other thing that needs to be done is flip the fittings that go to the windshield squirters under the dash cowel as the tubing now needs to be run up inside the right side fender. The grommets are there and need to be punched for the hose

Bill:

Please excuse my ignorance, but will that washer bottle configuration fit in an 84's trunk area? Are the fenders the same?

Thanks.

I have a small reservoir (1.6L) in the trunk to hold "intensive cleaning agent" and is activated by a separate switch on the dash. I rerouted the the hoses to this tank and the electrical connection so that it can replace the main tank.

I don't have the parts diagram handy but you may want to investigate this with your dealer as its a factory part.

Any chance we can see some pictures?
