Ive only one spare left!!!! :(

Dose anyone know if we can fit heated washer jets if the car never came with them?

I just had subzero experience on -16C. I have heated washers and -20C wash fluid with added Sonax concentrate to boost to -35C. I had no problem with front washers, but rear one gave up after 2hrs travel.

The biggest annoyance were front and rear wipers. If you are traveling trough blizzard, and someone in front of you drive less than 50km/h, snow start to melt when touches windscreen. However since it is -16C, it freezes up on the sides of windscreen and eventually catches to wipers. Once ice starts forming on wipers, you are done. It starts leaving smeary patches that eventually spread on whole windscreen. You have to stop, clear them from ice, and continue.

However if you are able to travel more than 50km/h, it is too cold and any icy or wet marks on windscreen disappear after while. Snowfall wont stick to the windscreen at all, and you won't need any need for wipers. It is critical just when you stop. The less you use wipers and quicker you get to above 50km/h, bigger chance is that you won't need wipers at all, no matter how big snowfall is. Otherwise, plan to stop every 15 minutes to clear ice.

I am not sure do heated windscreen prevents this, but I know that Superb should have heaters in lower part of windscreen where wipers are in "park" position. I noticed that on Subarus, Volvo and few other cars. It should prevent forming ice on wipers. I felt so annoyed overtaking all cautions FWD cars, just to be overtaken when clearing wipers, again and again...

I also had "broken" headlight washer experience. When I stopped, I just saw chrome part, dangling in front of headlight. Probably it instantly froze at higher speed, and never returned back. I use defrosting spray, and it got back after next activation. But it does look ugly.
