on my (euro) 86 200tqw, the w/w bottle is mounted on the firewall and
includes the "intensive washer" system in a "separate but attached"
container that is triggered by a low temperature switch.  the bottle
behind the RF headlight is the headlight washer system.  behind this,
inside the RF fender, to the right of the fuel distributor, is where the
charcoal canister would go...
