I've got exactly the same issue. I noticed that they had frozen and stuck out a little during the really cold weather but now it's warmed up and they've gone back in, they don't work at all. Windscreen and rear screen washers are working fine.
I've got no idea whether it could be a disconnected/split hose, a blown fuse or bust pump. It's gonna have to be a trip to the dealers I think.

Thanks, hopefully get the chance to have a look at the weekend before I give in and take it to the dealers. That's if we don't get another foot of snow.......
Noticed mine weren't working today, so checked the fuse and the 20amp fuse for them had blown. I've replaced it and still no joy, totally emptied the reservoir trying it and refilled so won't be low water or anything like that, any ideas if theres a relay or something, all the other fuses in the end panel and the one's next to the battery are okay.
Strange, mine went the same way but mines fine. Are they not heated to prevent this, im sure I read this in the spec sheet??
If there heated there crap, I have winter pack and they still wasn't flush in the bad weather they still froze, im guessing it may have just water in the bottle. I noticed the other day the headlight washers on the Leon are the same has the new TT. Stupid design tho. Best thing is take it to the dealer. Saves messing about trying to sort it you self.

Looking at golf gti forums they have exactly the same fault code but a replacement fuse sorts it out and without it being a relay issue, but a new fuse ain't solved it on mine and this code doesn't want to clear it comes straight back. I'm reluctant to take it to the stealers but I bet the washers have to work for MOT.

my headlamp washers were not working a while ago but the windscreen washers were. its fuse 36 or 38 from memory but could be wrong.
Fuse 36 is the one that will blow if they become frozen.
As said it's high pressure that popps them up, when they are fully up the nozzle is exposed and the high pressure then escapes through the small pin hole.
Some warm water will melt any ice or remove any bug splat that is stopping them retract.
