Retrofit heated screen washer jets question.

[Skyliner33]

After reading about the spray style washer sprays being much better than the original 3 jest ones I thought I most often want to use mine in the crappy winter weather and often they are frozen.

This got me wondering how difficult / easy it would be to retrofit heated ones, either in the OEM way or that maybe would come on with the heated screen?

Any of our resident retrofit forum guys have any thoughts on this?

Agreed, not much point in having heated jets if it's frozen in the tank or pipes.

The ones on my Mk2 Golf have an ignition +ve, that it.

It's generally the tips of the jets that freeze up, whilst the fluid in the system is still OK.

I’ve done this and made kits for people over the years, pretty sure I still have some of the heated spray type jets kicking around if you fancy it
