So my drivers side washer ain't working. What I'm noticing is that the wee bit at the side popped out every time i spray front window and water sprays out that instead of the normal bit.. HELP.

sounds like it is simply blocked, use a small pin etc to clear it, or reverse flush it.
It's not blocked, squeeze the inner end of the bit that's fallen out a little with pliers and then reinsert. Adjust and you're sorted.

It's the what actually looks like the holes for the washer on the wee barrel thing

Its forzen at some point and been damaged by the expanding water.
Can be obtained from Fiat and replaced cheaply.

At which point they'll just do the same thing usually. Best to give the inner end a little squeeze with pliers which makes it a tighter fit and ensures it never happens again, this is what the dealer did to mine about 4 years ago and they've not popped out since.
My last mk3 Golf GTi had heated washer jets, nice touch that.
Ya boo - MY Panda does too - so there !!
(Cos it don't freeze here and the sun keeps them warm)

on a slightly more serious note....
How is a heated washer jet going to stop the liquid freezing ? - for example -
At night, if it freezes, problem occurs, end expands allowing it to pop out yes ? -
Surely this is more down to the fluid mix..... ?
(I vaguely remember freezing)

But they're only hot when the car is going. The point captainslarty was making is how does this help over night etc when parked.

So just go to fiat dealer and get now washer jets? It's soo funny, spraying the window and the water shoots out the side where that wee barrel is lol
Your not driving it overnight when its parked, the golf's were electrically heated so as soon as you switch on the ignition they would defrost the nozzle jet, if you have a decent amount of screenwash in the mix then it won't freeze in the lines.
