Full Version: Frozen Washwipe Nozzles
This morning, driving over the Vale of Belvoir the temp dropped to -3 and my washwipe nozzles froze up! Has anyone else had this problem? When I got to Grantham the temp rose to -1 and I could use my washwipe again! Strange eh?

sounds funny for peoples who uses their cars (sometimes) at -50C 
the answer is simple - use winter wash fluid, not summer one (and for sure - not water)

Well I would never have thought of that!
Der! Strange considering the washwipe is from its last service a few weeks ago!The washwipes fine just the nozzles (that actually froze five minutes apart?!?)
was prob just the outlet to the nozzle that froze with the small temperature change. Once i had -25C neat wash in the tank, and as soon as it hit the screen it formed a sheet of ice! i now use -40c neat wash in winter.
