What is the part number for the larger (headlamp wash) washer bottle?

As my bottle has been compromised (see my blog), I'd like to upgrade to a greater capacity to save having to fill up the resevoir quite so regularly. I cannot find a part number on here for the larger bottle, nor on the German forum, nor on 7zap!

Can anyone help with either a part number for this, or else for one for another bottle that will do the job and be easy to fit? I add that last bit as a post on the German forum seemed to indicate an Audi A3 one might work (although no reference to which model).
 
Good Evening,

This thread also agrees.

Windscreen-washer reservoir - capacity?

Straightforward question requiring your help? Looking on EKTA, they show two numbers for that washer reservoir ..... one is stated as 4.2 litres, the other has no capacity shown. Do you happen to know what the capacity of the larger tank is? Even more useful, do you know what both capacities...

Remember reading replacement is a bit of a pig.

Thanks Gentleman - it was late when I looked at 7zap and couldn't see it for some reason when I looked it up under 2004 model year.
 
Won't the larger bottle have a hole for the headlight washer pump? You may need to block that.
 
The size of the washer bottle on these does annoy me. Rather small... My Rover 827 Coupe has a mahoosive bottle.
 
I know. The rear glass was treated before it left the factory with a hydrophobic coating and if the car was dealer serviced "most" dealers retreated the rear glass during the service. The spoiler does serve a purpose - it prevents the road grim that gets sucked up behind the car in bad weather reaching the upper glass.

Yes, I have noticed that.
 
I believe Audi did not use Rain-X. Instead used this product....

Is there a more effective / long-lasting modern equivalent available now? Next time I was the car I like to have such a treatment to hand ready to apply.
