If you have leather heated seats are a must! Nothing like sitting in a 0 degree leather seat to wake you up in the morning.

I'm pretty sure it is from the coolant. If you look inside the washer resevoir you can see the coils that are filled with coolant. On the insides of the lines leading up to the nozzles are wires that heat up.

That's why wiper fluid should NEVER be empty. The cost of replacing the system is prett high!

My old 1992 300D had heated washer fluid but it was an option. When I replaced all the hoses I had to buy the ones that connected to the steel pipe in the washer bottle.

I could have sworn when I looked last the 124 had coolant hoses running into the washer reservoir.

Aluminum (Coiled) Heater inside the WW Bottle

W124 chassis uses:
Engine coolant to warm the WW fluid.
Electrically Heated WW nozzles on the Hood

Some of the older W126 chassis had a bladder at the bottom of the windshield
that was full of engine coolant ,which warmed the windshield.

CAN you say Preperation H.
I should really hook the heater seats up to something, but now it is too cold to hold on to metal tools and too cold to fiddle with such things with your mitts off for any length of time.
don't know about benz heated seats but on my vw you have to be sitting on them to activate the heat,yet my suburban will heat without anything on the seat.damn vw.kinda ironic thread as i was just thinking yesterday about how to heat the wiper blades!

One thing never addressed in this thread was the original mention of windchill being a factor in the washer fluid freezing. This is NOT the case.....10F air blowing 100Mph is still 10F....Wind Chill is the Factor of temperature when related to it hitting a person's skin.

Even though it's not "technically" wind chill, I think that wind moving across the windshield will cool it faster than still air.

If you move fast enough through the air it will heat up won't it?. In the SR71 I read that they stuck their meal packets against the front wind screen and it made the meal nice and toasty.

My GL has heated everything - mirrors, seats, washer fluid, even the steering wheel. Must be the Canadian edition. Whatever the case, I love it! Makes those early winter morning starts a breeze...er...zephyr.

Know when this feature was removed? Not that I'd be driving mine in the snow anyway...
