Does this Front Wiper Washer Reservoir fit my Vanagon? I have a 1986 model.

This front wiper washer reservoir is designed to fit Vanagon models from 1980 through 1991. It's a direct replacement for most standard setups, but please note it will NOT fit the less common Vanagons equipped with headlight wipers.

I'm replacing my old washer fluid bottle. Do I need any other parts besides this reservoir?

You'll definitely want to grab the rubber grommets! This reservoir doesn't come with the washer pump grommet or the filler neck grommet. It's highly recommended to replace these old rubber parts at the same time you install the new reservoir to ensure a good seal and prevent leaks. You can find these separately on our site.

Is this a genuine VW part, or an aftermarket one?

This is a quality aftermarket replacement reservoir. While we strive to offer OEM parts whenever possible, this particular item is from a reputable aftermarket manufacturer. It's been confirmed to fit correctly and function just like the original equipment for your Vanagon.

My old reservoir is cracked and leaking. How difficult is this Wiper Washer Reservoir replacement to install myself?

Installation is generally straightforward, especially since this reservoir is designed for a perfect fit. Most customers find they can tackle this replacement themselves. The main thing to remember is to have those new grommets ready to go, as mentioned in FAQ #2. Taking care of the grommets at the same time will save you from having to potentially remove the reservoir again later.

Nice OEM style reservoir

I took off a star as this has a number of rubber gaskets that may need to be replaced when changing this part. Go westy really could curate the ad here by stating how many and which rubber bits are needed to replace with this tank.

Thanks for the feedback Evan! We have improved the product listing as you suggested. Cheers!

Perfect fit! If your's is trashed, get this one.

My old reservoir was the original tank from over 40 years ago. The tabs on one side had cracked and broke off. I only noticed this when I went to replace the washer motor with a GoWesty one (OEM are NOT available since 2005). Thinking I would have to hit up the local Westy Graveyard I was not looking forward to another old plastic tank. Thank goodness GoWesty had new ones.

If you buy this tank, do yourself a favor and buy both rubber grommets. Once you have it out, you'll be glad you did, otherwise you will probably have to order them, and then reinstall the tank again.

Good quality

This was a good replacement for my old reservoir. It fits perfectly.

Go Westy has my back

OEM quality!

What a tank

My tank had broken tabs and a crack. This is an expensive tank. Wish it cost less, but Vanagons aren't cheap to fix up, so we need to take what we can get!
Good quality, no regrets.
