I picked up a set of heated ones on eBay from Cardiff audi for 11 quid each

will report back, just curious if anyone else has tried?

Nope not me. Look forward to hearing how they perform when compared to stock.

Yes please do let us know. Are the stock Oem not heated then? If so surely they'll require wiring for the heater?

ok so this has to be the quickest mod i've done to date. they are simple to swap and replace, though the ones i bought are heated unlike the ones in the photo.
(yes stock are heated)
takes less than 2 mins to swap each unit, and no tools needed, plug and play, or spray in this case ;-)

have fitted and checked working, seem to be aimed quite low even after adjusting to highest point, but i've not road tested to know if this is an issue, or intended etc.

It's very strange how Audi used the original design they did as vw had this style on the mk4 golf in about 2000, must be a reason behind it. What's the cost on them ?

So why are these better than stock RS6 jets?

not sure they are better per se, but for the effort/cost figured worth trying

OK so got these fitted and recorded - https://youtu.be/ALO2W1HGLzk

they seem to still have a 'jet' of sort but the fluid hits much more of the screen, I'm not 100% these are better than the standard one, but they are certainly different.
in the video the left hand side is adjusted to as high as it will go, right hand side about midway.

it might be the aquapel that makes it seem more effective, dunno, any pleased with the result, very easy swap
