Yes you can get them as they came as part of the connivence pack though as to how effective they are though...
Ive never managed to feel any heat out of mine and i think the consensus on here is to extend the pipe and wrap it round the coolant or heating pipes as this will heat the rear washer as well.
Any ideas as to when they should come on and should you be able to feel the getting hot on the outside?
i just thought i'd throw the idea out cuz i clicked on the thread, but surely they would only need to heat to above say 5 degrees? to avoid freezing
I thought that they were on for all the time the ignition was on (and alternator charging hopefully), as they only use a few amps. To have them only powered when the heated rear window is on would not work - they would have already frozen up, it would be smart though to only have them switching on below 5C though. I missed this option in my Passat but made sure I selected it for my wife's Polo as I had it on my VX Cav GSI. I would not expect to detect any real heat coming off them though, I might check where the wiring to them comes from - maybe Haynes holds that secret! You can't beat using good winter screen-wash though - and at the correct concentration - these heated nozzles are not meant to be a substitute for that!
I would expect to see a little melted circle around each one when they are on.
My astra ones do this.

Would be nice to have I use the right screen wash for winter but the jets still freeze up, as said if anyone does get a price or do this let us know. May do this one day if I run out of more exciting things to do!

thank you for the replies. for now i think i could try the wrapping around a coolant pipe for now, bit cheaper for me to do at the mo. i will make a note of the part numbers just in case
