Does frozen windshield washer fluid have any impact?
1 Answers
Frozen windshield washer fluid does have an impact. If the reservoir is full, the frozen fluid will expand in volume, which can easily cause the reservoir to crack. Additionally, freezing can affect the sealing ring of the reservoir or the washer pump. Selection of windshield washer fluid: When choosing windshield washer fluid, it's important to select one suitable for the local temperature. In winter, opt for an antifreeze-type windshield washer fluid to ensure it won't freeze and damage vehicle equipment even when the external temperature drops below -18 degrees Celsius. Solutions for frozen windshield washer fluid: If the fluid freezes while driving, quickly find a safe place to stop. Then, use hot water to clean the pipes and spray nozzles. If there's sunlight, parking in the sun can help thaw the fluid, which works in most cases.
