Hi
During cold temps (9-15* F) the left side washer nozzle freezes, the right side works fine. Have washer fluid in the system that is -25*F and ran it through the lines, front and back, before temps dropped.
Looks like the left side nozzle doesn't warm up like the right with engine heat. The rear one works fine also. There is nothing in front of the nozzle to stop the flow of fluid also.
Anybody come up with a solution to this?
I was giving thought of installing some kind of "vent tube" that would direct warm air from the engine bay to keep the left nozzle warm.
Thanks

Use -40 washer fluid, the wind chill while driving can go down below -25 F

I bought new washer nozzles last summer and installed them the drivers side would barely let any fluid out is what prompted this.

Then my kid used the car for a while while I was working on her car. The washer fluid ran out so she bought a new jug. What she got was summer formula and it promptly froze.

Once I got things thawed out and the system empty again I put in the subzero stuff I always put in but now the drivers side barely spurts again. I suppose I will get a new pair of nozzles and see if that works again.

The nozzle is probably clogged just enough that a little ice stops it up. New nozzle.

(wind chill only applies to "feels like to a human", not to water freezing)

I had this happen last winder with my Accord. I just used some toothpicks and stuck it in there to remove the clog.
