The heated washer jets are not really as good as they sound. Yes its probably better in a mild day to have luke warm soapy water to clean your windows, but just incase anyone thinks it will defrost your windows on a freezing cold day... it wont.

The heated washer jets just use a small ceramic disc in the jets as a heater, its not that effective and bloody expensive for what it is. I find myself its not the jets that freeze its the pipes, this normal only happens if your mixture of screen wash to water is low. So i was not bothered about them myself.
Heated seats with cloth i have never felt the need myself i find cloth seats comes upto body temp within seconds, maybe i just have a hot ass :grin: .
Alot of people on here complain about the headlamp washers but i know from experience how the mk5 is a real pain for getting very dirty headlights so i would spec the winter pack just for that option myself, If i had not treated myself to Xenons that is.
The low washer fluid level warning light now also comes with Xenons.

I have to admit washing the headlights with the head light washer works well and makes quite a difference to dirty lights improving visibility no end.  I have it on my mk5 and its ordered for my GTD.  Wouldn't leave home without it.  Toasty seats are nice when it takes soo long for the car heater to get up to scratch especially when it was -15 degrees recently.

Yes you can. Could be expensive. Worth it, I feel.
