My old Audi A6 (2001) and A4 Avant (2005) both had heated fan jets, as do most VAG cars since about 2001 I think. 2006 Mercedes CLS

I've read about several conversions using the e60 fan jets - none were good. Works fine at a standstill, apparently, but won't work at anything over 35mph. Some say you need a new pump, others say the e60 has the same problem ex-factory, all we know is it's called a royal PITA.

Thanks guys for all your help. I'll do this and report back with how good or not the spray is.

Do the heated jets/wingmirrors come on of their own accord based on outside temperature? |

just had the rr serviced at gordon lamb and the rear washer was faulty, to my surpise they fitted a fan spray as replacement looks cool when washing the back windows. |

It's fan spray as standard on the back... The universal ones I bought are mist spray which is very cool - however I dont like the look of the things. So will get some different ones |
