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.

Isn't heated mirrors the luxury pack? As well as dipping passenger mirror/both folding?

I thought when I spec'd the ed35 heated washers and seats were the winter pack (as it has xenons as standard so by law has to have the light washers).

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.

Hmm, doesn't say it's standard on the app! Grrr!  :angry:

Heated mirrors are standard fit.

I was under the impression you got the following in the winter pack:
Headlight washers (standard with Xenons)
Heated seats (standard with Leather)
Heated washer jets
Low washer fluid warning
Larger washer fluid reservoir (standard with Xenons)

Confusing, or what?  :rolleyes:

Light washers aren't standard by law if you have Xenons as some Audis that have Xenons have no wahers but some special coating on the glass instead!!

Confused? You will be  :laugh:

Your right or it was in 2009/2010 when i bought mine
It always shocks me when people buy cars then dont know the options they added even are. :grin:

To the OP it would not suprise me if it had the winter pack as a missbuild.
Im guessing you have seen the wires to the heated washer jets?

1. Winter pack in conjunction with leather = Headlight washers, heated windscreen washer jets and low washer fluid warning light.
2. Winter pack in conjunction with leather & xenon's = Just heated windscreen washer jets because the headlight washers and low fluid warning come with the xenon's.
So you pay £255 just for heated windscreen washer jets with option 2 or £275 for option 1. As stated by others - confusing it is.

Yeah, there are quite a few variables with the options, it does get confusing   :undecided:

Had a look under the bonnet and no wires to windscreen washers, so definitely haven't got the winter pack, just the headlamp washers and low washer warning that comes with xenon.  Have heated mirrors but as previously stated, they are standard now.  Pretty glad I didn't stump up the money just for heated washers - nice to have, but £255!! No thanks

Ive seen the heated washer jets and harness sold as a retrofit on another forum in the past, think it was about £100
