Headlight washers

[Booth11]

Weren't these fitted to "ordinary" GTis? I have the cut outs. I don't want to go looking for fuses unless I can establish that they should be working. The manual isn't very helpful as it applies to so many models.

You will only have headlamp washers if you either have factory fitted bi-xenons, (an optional extra on normal Mk6 GTIs but standard on ED35s) OR if you have the optional Winter Pack (with normal halogen headlights).  If you have neither of those then you won't have the headlamp washers but you will still have the cutouts which are on all regardless.

Would heated leather interior mean you get the winter pack by default and so have headlight washers?

Without Xenons - no, even with leather you would still have to have separately specced winter pack to get headlight washers.  Leather gives you the heated seats (which were standard with leather) but that's not the same as having the Winter Pack.  Winter Pack with leather was as follows:

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 = Heated windscreen washer jets ONLY (as headlight washers and low fluid warning are standard with the xenons).

Winter Pack with cloth = Headlight washers, Heated seats, heated washer jets, low washer fluid warning

No, the winter pack was a separate option, which, depending on the spec of the car, would include all or some of the following;

- heated seats
- headlamp washers
- heated washer jets
- low washer fluid warning display on the dash

I think it might also have included a larger washer fluid reservoir

What you actually got in the winter pack depended on whether you ordered leather and/or xenons. If you had both of these options, all you got with the winter pack was the heated windscreen washer jets, as heated seats were part of the leather option, and headlamp washers, low washer fluid warning display and larger washer fluid reservoir were part of the xenon option. Confusing!!

I have headlamp washers on my car, as I have xenons. IMHO, they don't really do a very good job of keeping the headlights clean, but they do a fantastic job of making a real mess of spraying washer fluid all over the bonnet!

All GTIs got the cutouts. You wont be the first person to ask this question.
Xenons or winterpack were the only times they were fitted
