Trip to the stealership tommorow for me then!!

Ok, a bit off topic i know! I took the heated jet to bits yesterday, and as rubyjonny said, was full of gunk - smelt very much like fish water :X So i cleaned it all up, redid the connections, bent the terminals so they made better contact.. looked like a new jet. Plugged it in, checked it was getting 12V, which it was. Nothing! No heat at all! I really havent a clue why now!! It doesnt really make a lot of sense to be honest, as the disc that is inside, stops the current getting to the metal, so i dont see the need for it?! :S Anyone any ideas?!

[rubjonny]

yeah same problem that I had!  I think the disc might be made out of ceramic or something random like that?

So do all GTIs have the heated washer jets or were they an option......

I'm not sure! I know my 89 Driver had them, as well as my 90 GTI.  It might have been std on later models?

Perhaps it was part of a 'winter pack' which most english buyers decided would be a good idea to buy
