Use the Porsche screenwash additive.
This stuff? Current screen wash is blue and just checked only good down to -2 degrees hence my issues.

Can you mix ? And should I add some of this ? Says you can’t but would you really need to drain current and if so how?

Nope - thats just cleaner.

Good for -49C (https://shop.porsche.com/gb/en-GB/p/winter-window-cleaner-concentrate-00004400227-B/00004400227).

Washer nozzles are heated but may take a while to clear surface ice that said.

Mixing would be fine in sure.

Just installed them. Super easy! SmartService app disappeared for some reason so when it's back I'll set that I have changed wipers.

Do porsche care that I have changed the cabin filter and wipers from OEM to Bosch ? Bosch is OEM quality if not better

They’ll point out that the wiper blades aren’t genuine parts whenever the car goes in to them and suggest they replace them for £168 (that’s for all three, mine was in last week). Likely they’d only see the filter when they’re changing it.

Wouldn’t want to test the warranty if I turned up with wiper issues or heating/aircon problems with non-Porsche parts on though.

Porsche don't make wiper blades.

Bosch are just fine and are used by Porsche on other models and historically have used Bosch and then switched to other brands - least cost.

I've never had Porsche recommend a wiper blade replacement nor commented on the blades in place.

Simple DIY task.

indeed, I replaced all round with Bosch recently, just answering the question about Porsche’s attitude, wouldn’t say they were bothered but it’s on the health check.
