Hi,
if i throw the the window-water-reservoir out of my engine bay and install a new one in the rear boot(with a long hose) can i still use the stock waterpump or is it to weak ? I think i would also need a check valve short behind the pump...

I´d like to get some space in my engine bay for my new coils...

Regards,
Wolfgang

Depending how often you use it, you can replace it with a much smaller tank.

I completely removed mine, why do you need it anyway? I fill a 1.25L Coke bottle with washer fluid, kept it in backseat, when in need simply wind down the window and splash. .... :lol:

I am sure the pump should work from the rear. No problem.

One more thing..... CLEAR your PM BOX.

I think for the first time i will remove it completely... later i will put it maybe in the trunk...

Any tipps for removing it ? I think it must be pulled out from the downside... right ? Are there any known probs or just loosen the 3 screws and try to pull it out ?

Regards,
Wolfgang

the 924 used a smaller resevior, it doesnt extend into the engine bay as much as the stock one does. it should leave you enough room to mount your coils. you could probably pick one up very cheaply at a salvage yard.

take care,
