Do you have an early build car with the headlamp washers? I have headlamp washers but no winter pack and I'm sure I noticed a little bit of steam when I used the washer on the windscreen yesterday morning when it ws nice and cold.

I don't have LED lights, headlamp washers or winter pack but noticed steam on the windscreen yesterday. I just put it down to the windscreen being colder than the screenwash. Sort of effect when you open a freezer in a warm kitchen.
Yes I have an earlier built car
If you noticed a little bit of steam its probably because of the reason GTTunney suggested, as the heating elements in the washer jets are so tiny as they are only ment to defrost the small metal nozzle and keep it free from ice, not heat the water
Having owned a mk6 golf before this Leon, i would rather have the Leons 3 per side nozzles, purely because they are adjustable.
The fan jets in my golf sprayed too low on the screen.

Can you adjust these new mk7 ones we are talking about?
I had fan ones on my mk2 and they were great much better than the nozzles on the mk3
They were adjustable too
The fans are adjustable with an Allen Key. I am due to receive one shortly and might just do a tear down for the forum.
I have a 68 plate 290 lux and from day one i questioned the jets as they are so bad; not enough water getting onto the windscreen and way too low down. The dealer said that they were fine but i still wonder when i will get scratches appearing due to not having enough water sprayed up on the glass before the rubber wipes across. Are they adjustable?

I have just fitted them - make a massive difference.

Yes!
No - simplest mod I've done to my car yet! Literally did it in my suit & tie in my morning coffee break!!!

I got them from Listers as couldn't find genuine VW/Seat heated ones on eBay. Just completed an enquiry form on www.listers.co.uk and a kind & helpful gentleman called Andrew Westwood emailed me and sent me a payment link etc. all quite simple and hassle free!
Yes, heated - £33.40 inc VAT & postage. When you compare a genuine VAG product vs an eBay knockoff you'll appreciate the difference! I ordered unheated ones incorrectly and was amazed how naff they were so decided to go OEM!
PM me & I'll send you Andrew's email address.
Lol fair enough - at £6 I'm happy to take the risk that they'll be naff. If they are I won't do the mod as there's no way I'm paying OEM price (I'm too tight for that
