Winter Pack?
« on: 14 November 2012, 22:04 »
After couple of months ownership of my 62 plate mk6 gti, have just realised it appears to have the winter pack - headlamp washers, heated washer jets etc.   Bit confused as I didn't spec it, or pay for it!  I have xenons and leather seats but was under the impression that the winter pack was still an optional extra, at approx £275 (albeit discounted if you had xenons or leather). 

Is this right?  Have I got a freebie!!!  :smiley:

Headlamp washers are included if you have xenon's if I remember correctly, and that probably includes the heated windscreen washers, so not a freebie I don't think  :cry:

Well I have a totally standard GTI which I collected last week and I believe it has the winter pack on it as well. I'm not sure of the build date as this one they had in stock already.

Does it have heated seats? If not then it's not the winter pack, as already mentioned if you have xenons then headlamp washers are a legal requirement.

Heated seats are standard with leather; you only had to spec them [with winter pack] when cloth seats were still available.
So if you spec winter pack with xenon's now, all you get extra is the heated windscreen washers.

Yes, have heated leather seats but as RickS says that is standard now.  Am thinking now that it's not winter pack I have but simply the headlamp washers that were part of xenon option.  Had another look on vw website and that what it says (never noticed it when I was speccing car).  Either way nice to have headlamp washers - wondered why the lights always looked so clean  :smiley:

I might be wrong, but one easy way to check if you have winter pack is to check if your mirrors have the heat option.

Your Xenons get a wash every 5 times you use the washer jets that's why the look so clean...
