ISTR they're about £12 and only require you to put your hand behind the bonnet sound deadening material and uncoil the washer and unclip the electric connector. Bodsys Brake Bible

Yes those are the ones. D4 nozzles work a lot better!
Also can't vouch for meths but the screenwash Audi dealers sell works down to -70 so using that 1:1 or 1:2 with water won't freeze. Most of the pre-mixed stuff garages sell is

Down to local stealer then. Don't suppose there's a gadget to get rid of ice on the wipers other than warm water?

alot of screenwash is will got down to -5c, proplem is over time it will leave a residue in the jet.....simple to correct just using a pin to clean the head.
also in this cold weather would be worth buying a selection of 10amp blade fuses to keep in the car just in case you blow a fuse trying to get yer washers to work.......BTW yer manual will say 5amp but this has been upgraded to 10amp several years ago by LR.
THE FUSE BOX IS LOCATED BEHIND THE LOWER GLOVE BOX....OPEN THE BOX FULLY, THEN PUSH THE HINGES ON BOTH SIDES UNTIL THE BOX DROPS RIGHT OPEN, CHECK TO SEE YOU HAVE THE PLASTIC TONGS ATTACHED BY THE FUSE BOX, IF NOT NIP OVER TO YER LOCAL LR DEALER AND FOR LESS THAN £2 YOU CAN BUY A NEW ONE.....BELEIVE ME A REAL PAIN TO CHANGE WITHOUT ONE

Ready mixed screen wash is a waste of money in these low temperatures, all you are buying is coloured water, Concentrated made to maximum recommended strength is the way to go.
Is there visibly any difference between D3 and D4 washer jets?
What switches the heating part on to the washers?
I changed mine in November after I found a mouse had made a nest with the wires between the bonnet and soundproofing:shock:
Good write up and reminder by 'character', fuse may be my problem, thanks.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Am I missing something? How did this thread change to heated washer jets? The initial post was about "water" not coming through. I would have thought the answer was if you're using water no wonder the windscreen washer jets and tubes are blocked! (Yep, I realise you meant washer fluid). Added to which I would argue that it's all very well having all singing and dancing heated washer jets but that doesn't help if the fluid is frozen in the rest of the system.
