    Maybe, Maybe not. I did broker a sale of a complete bag and pump last year. Brand new as well.

    I'll see if I can find another one.

    You don't want that bag in your trunk
    Find some kind of tank to replace the bag.

    The original bag will split open when you put to much water in it.

    I use a 5l fuel can at the moment, but thinking about it a Jerrycan for water is probably better as they already have a hole at the bottom where the tap is.

    Something like this:


    Pump wise, just go for a beefy screen washer pump.

    5 liter is gone before you know it
    The can I've got contains more than 20 liters.

    Depending on the weight of you feet, it could last 300 till a 1000 km before I ran out of water.

    I'm using an aftermarket system, its activated by injector duty cycle and IC temp, so uses less water than the standard system which only works off boost pressure.

    Do you have a link to the after market system? Sound interesting to upgrade

    I've started another thread on this rather than take this one further off topic.

    why don't you use the tank that includes the fluid for the windscreen? you could put in it some water with alcohol to avoid freezing and use it for both jobs. cooling the IC and cleaning the windscreen.
    seems quite easy modification.
