Heated washer jets?

Driving home today, one of the jets on the drivers side wasn't working so had a quick look and also discovered these wires!!!
So they are for heated jets eh???

How do you tel if they work or not???

Also can you buy new jets that created a spray instead of the jet???

[...joe]

you can tell if they work or not by seeing if they work in the frost! to be honest they aint brilliant as all it is is a mild amount of heating but its better than nothing! they also corrode badly, which is why i said often they work, often they don't!

[rowlers]

the never work in the frost!!!

I always assumed it was the washer bottle that was frozen though?

So can you get the new type sprayer to fit?? Anyone??

[...joe]

^^anythings possible, try it out...it might be the next 'must do' mod if you sort it?

[Haribo!]

mine work,  , but it only clears the bit they spray at, it would be cool if they could rotate or something to cover more area

[rubjonny]

They're only there to prevent them freezing up when you're driving, very rare to find a working set as they soon gunk up & rust inside when owners don't bother to use proper screenwash 

Try looking on MK3 Golfs in the scrapper, will be a little newer and more chance of em working!  You could probably test by wiring em to 12v and putting some ice on em or summat, maybe try defrosting the freezer 

Oh and while youre robbin gthe jets from the MK3, swipe the black washer hose, looks much better than the orrible yellow stuff you'll have on your MK2
