Does anyone know if any mk3 Astras came with heated washer jets as standard?

I'm sick of my normal ones freezing up, it's annoying as I have to keep stopping at every servo on the way to work each morning to put some water on my windscreen!

I have some kind of male connector plug by the scuttle panel on the passenger side that's not connected to anything, could this be something to do with it?

(it's not for fog lights as I already have them as standard)

the plug is for the washer level low sensor mate. nothing to do with heating the water up! are u putting plenty of washer fluid in? as this may stop them freezing due to their being alcohol it! im sure

can't you re-route the piping to somewhere a bit warmer in the engine bay, so it'll heat the water and de-frost your jets ??

I might fill up the washer bottle with hot water each morning, maybe that will help...

But seriously does anyone know if any mk3 Astras came with heated jets?

FFS even my shitty old mk2 Golf had them as standard!
