Headlamp Washers

[Hungry_Horse_1955]

Does anyone know if the ‘Big Bumper’ headlamp washers http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-MK2-Golf-Genuine-Big-Bumper-Headlight-Washer-Kit-Lots-New-Parts-VERY-RARE-/281136759482?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item41750e82ba#ht_11652wt_1158 are any different to the ‘small bumper’ versions? I have some headlamp washers which don’t fit behind the ‘bull bar’ of the Country (I think they are the ‘small’ variety), but wondered if these are any different. Or are the Country ones different again!!!!

Hi Clive

ive looked on etka and can only find one type which lists as 165 or 191 to start for both- 955101 Left and 955 102 for Right. The big bumpers skins for washers are listed but the washers aren’t separately. I can only assume that they are the same for both types of bumper

I cant see any listed separately for the Country

I have a set of washers with pump and wiring, but they are designed to fit the small bumper model and sit proud of the bumper, so to speak, and are shaped to fit the ‘corner’. The washers on the ebay ad are flatter, with a slight curve at the edge, no doubt to sit on the top of the big bumper.

However, the small bumper washers do not fit the Country as the Bull Bar gets in the way. I have seen pictures (probably buried in one of my memory sticks) of a Country fitted with washers that were claimed to be OEM. Obviously, these are ‘flat’ type washers that sit further back on top of the bumper. I wonder if VW bodged the Big Bumper type to fit! I’ll have to check out my pictures!!
