Hi folks, I am replacing my windshiels and would like to add washers, can anyone recomend a washer system that is resaonably priced installed? Also my wipers are slow moving, and not really any difference from low to high speed. Any ideas why this is so? Thank you for the help everone, Joe

lubrication and and electronic pump will help.
Most VW shops sell some electric pump that can be adapted. Rich |
