Lift the bonnet. Look in the back right where the washer hose is. Two cable/lines means one for electricity and one for water. Single ribbed hose = no heaty
Where did you get yours from?
Added some spots to the underside of the poptop bed. Only really got lights under my top locker and the switch is the other side of the van from the door. So added the spots and the switch is on the passengers B pillar so I can turn on from the sliding door.
Not so much what I’ve done to it, but I’ve driven it through the 150k milestone whilst driving up the Croatian coast today.
Got front tyres changed (had two left from forum purchase some time ago so quids in). Now van is on OEM suspension decided best also to get front and back wheel alignment done. Tyres were wearing on outside which was result of high degree of 'toe'. Proof will be in the driving ha! Great service again from Anvil tyres. £15+vat to changeover each tyre and £33.33+vat for hunter 3d wheel alignment.

I left Busfest on Sunday for a pleasant 10 mile run to my mother's in Worcester.
I always have the drivers window open about an inch.
It's now pouring, proverbial cats and dogs.
Get to Mom's, remember she doesn't have proper tea bags or proper milk.
Quick dash into the slidy door to retrieve a couple of PG's finest (stored in the useful sink) and milk.
I press the fob button to lock up. Very occasionally a slightly open window confuses my vans brain, and the window goes down and not up.
This was that occasion. 3 hours of heavy rain went through my now half open window.
Soaking seat, and soaking window buttons. Side pocket carpets saturated.
Window controls on drivers door were not working any more.
Day off today, so out with the trim tools to take out the door button unit, diesel heater up to high in the van.
An hour of hair dryer blowage into the door then the buttons. A serious dry out basically.
Put it all back together, it only works again!
Potential for future problems maybe, but for today I'm happy!

had exactly the same thing happen to me last year
Did you just dry it out too? Any issues since?had exactly the same thing happen to me last year
Did the Audi switch fit the same as T6 one - straight swap? Have you got a part number?
I did the, “stick some pipe insulation in the rain gutters to stop pop top whistling” trick. Have not taped or stuck it down just cut it about 75 mm long and shoved it in. What a difference it’s made to my ability to hear a different squeaking that was masked by wind noise……… does this ever end??????
Would you be parting with the orginal?
I've done exactly the same thing.... Why do they make those adjustment screws plastic. Is there a particular brand that are made better with metal screws?Hmmm…. well after the great upgrade idea from @vwjack and the link gratefully supplied by @Matt-T68 I ordered and received said washer jets…. I fitted them yesterday evening no problem, but wasn’t quite happy with the spray pattern…. it seemed too high and heading up onto the roof! So today I set about adjusting them…. it’s most probably my heavy handedness, but whilst adjusting slowly and carefully (and with no resistance) one of them broke!
So that went straight in the bin and I decided to wash the original parts in hot soapy water and refit.
