Default FMIC Questions?

Just wondering about you guys with the FMIC did you still retain your headlight washers? Any Modifications needed to install the FMIC? or just straight bolton?


Thanks

Default i have done 3 FMIC installs and have retained the headlight washers >>

each time...you just need to fit the Samco hoses on correctly....assuming you are either going with a Forge or OCT which both support keeping the washers....if it is something else, than this may not apply

Headlight washers stayed. No modifications to anything for the fit, at least with my Forge.

Default Not me - Huge Waste of Fluid - Also, if you do alot of mods and need to remove the front end....

You don't want to be messing with the aliens over and over. I have the front off of my TT so many times it is a snap, but bring me a TT with the washers still hooked up. PITA

Only good use for the alien washers is to reverse them and squirt someone on the sidewalk.

This was a huge waste of money on any car.

Default Retained on my O.CT install...

No cutting or trimming required, and front end went back on like the OEM front bumper.<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/mcphill/audi_stuff/engine_and_drivetrain/oct_front_mount/">http://public.fotki.com/mcphill/audi_stuff/engine_and_drivetrain/oct_front_mount/</a</li></ul>
