Hi guys.....

This water reservoir was in my 74 beetle when I bought it many years ago. I don't think it is the one for my car. What year beetles would this one be for?

Thats the mid 60s washer bottle that sits on the shelf behind the spare wheel.

the 68 and later standard beetle one has lugs which mount it to the spare wheel.

Boble.....nope, my car is a standard beetle.

Joel....thanks for the info...and thanks for the photos as well. I found this late last night on Ebay. According to the seller, this reservoir fits both a beetle and a ghia.

I'd go with this electric one. The spare tire pressure stuff was never any good, even when new. Here are a couple:
