bit daft as well, but does the fluid come out of the windscreen washers reservoir?

As above, that's why the GTi has a 6.5L bottle and the others are somewhere between 3-4L

Hell yeah, its tiny. My washer bottle stays filled for something like 6 months, whereas my girlfriend's car needs topping up much more regularly.
