Title: Heated Washers
Post by: pork_pie on 12 January 2008, 15:34

hello all

i had to change my bonnet recently, and when i removed the washer jets, they fell apart in my hands.  does anyone know where i can source new ones?  they are the heated type, and would like to put heated ones back on. 

also, does the heater element switch on with the demister switch?

any info would be ace

cheers guys.

they look exactly the same, they just have a plug fitting into them, and a heater element.  when i removed them to swap my dented bonnet (bloody vandals) they fell apart.  i would say they havnt worked for a fair while, and im guessing they are the origionals, and therefore 18 years old.

im gonna try GSF, see if they have any..

my 89 driver had em, they're only there to prevent them icing up when you're driving along at speed, due to winf chill.  MK3 and Passat ones are the same :)

My washers have wires going into them, does that mean mine are heated? What turns them on? lol
