Focus 's are lucky aren't they? They have heated washer jets!

At least I've got heated screens and wing mirrors. That helps I guess...

Have u been using fairy liquid?

If so the pipes/pump/jets will be blocked with gel residue, you will need to strip it all off and back flush the jets/pipes.

Even neat screen wash will freeze at these temperatures though at the moment.

Don't keep operating the pump if it's blocked/frozen you'll burn the pump out

Have they? Don't think mine has. Maybe in a facelift?

Nope I think they're standard but judging from our lot they dont work very well. Apparently they work off the HFS on the Focus... From what I can gather if you look at the jets underneath the bonnet and if there's a wee wire going to them, it has them

Well my ST has wires going to the washer jets under the bonnet so that's a clue

The heating element is built into the back of the washer jet, obviously it's only small. Infact the washer jets have the same sized body as non-heated ones, just these have an empty cavity where the heater element would usually go

Took me 3 years to figure out the Fiesta came with heated wing mirrors when you switched the heated rear screen on

Not sure about all Fiestas but all STs do lol Only when we saw the bfs was up for sale & I laughed at the heated wing mirrors comment to which he replied "What you mean you never knew?"
