Has anyone successfully swapped out the front windscreen washer jets on the Audi A6 C8 to get a modern mist/fan spray?

I just moved over to a C8 and was really disappointed to find out it uses the old school triple stream spray pattern instead of a wide curtain mist. My Golf Mk7 has the mist style and it covered the glass so much better.

I know the stream style is factory design for the C8, but I am looking to retrofit fan style nozzles from another VAG car.

Anyone know if this can be done or done this mod? What part numbers did you use for the swap? Did you manage to keep the heated nozzle function working? Was it a direct plug and play fit under the bonnet?

Any advice, links, or part numbers would be massively appreciated!

As per the title, I’m looking to buy an Audi A6 C8 Avant.
I’m not interested in the 40 TFSI, as I think 200bhp would feel a bit too sluggish for my liking. I’m currently selling my Mk7 Golf GTI, so I’m used to the EA888 engine, which has been excellent in terms of both performance and reliability.

How good is the 45 TFSI in the A6? Are there any common faults or known issues to look out for when buying one? What’s ownership been like for those who have one?

I’m also curious about tuning potential. Is the 45 TFSI with a remap quick enough to make it feel genuinely lively, or is it worth looking at the 55 TFSI? I only do around 7,000 miles a year, so fuel economy isn’t a major concern for me. With that in mind, would you still recommend the 45 TFSI, or is the 55 TFSI worth the extra £?

Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
