Yea they have low fluid warnings too on winter packs... It is useful when your washers aint frozen - Cause then it'll alert you if your bottle needs filling  :smiley:

I dont have the winterpack but have the low fluid warning indicator.

The winterpack consists of heated washers, heated seats, and a headlight washer system.

If you use the VW screen wash stuff its ok and don't frez up. Gives a better dove tail fan spray over the screen and smells quite nice. The truble is it cost quite a bit in contrast to othe stuff you might get from other places.

I read somewhere that it tends to be luck of the draw if your car has them ,i know I saw a bit on the r32 owners stating that none of the r32 had them fitted even though they had winter packs. It seems odd really, i have a h plated mk2 with heated washer jets!
I believe you can get hold of the loom from the stealer's as well as the jets, don't know the cost though apart from its a fiver a pair for standard. Don't know if you could modify a mk2 loom.
