Retrofitting headlight washers



Hate to put a dampner on this but have you already got hold of the washers?
I take it by the content of your post that you may not. The front right washer
on my 80q has the pipe out the rear of it snapped off (don't ask how, I 
inherited it this way) the Audi dealer wants 53 gbp (83 usd) for it. I am hoping
Sanburn autos or another UK breakers can do me for one a bit cheaper. As far as
I can see the tubing runs from the washer bottle (I think this is larger for
cars fitted with the headlight washers for obvious reason) to the left front
washer and then through the bumper or front crossmember to the left hand unit.
They run whenever you wash the screen but from a separate pump fitted to the 
washer bottle. I am not sure if the standard washer bottle has brackets for
fixing the extra pump to. The washers themselves are bolted through the bumper
necessitating the removal of the fog lights to get to the two bolts holding 
them. At least this is how they are set up on my 84 80q.
