Experience wanted: Frozen windshield washer nozzles on Peugeot 406 Diesel

Spray nozzles frozen

Hi guys, I need your help. I drive a Peugeot 406 Diesel from the year 2000 with 127902km on the odometer. It's winter and my windshield washer nozzles keep freezing up. I fear there may be a problem with the heating of the nozzles. Have any of you had similar problems and can tell me about your experiences at the mechanic? I didn't have a particularly good experience last time and would like to hear how it went for you. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I once had a similar problem with my Peugeot 407 from 2003. It turned out that the cable connection to the windshield washer nozzles was defective. This meant that they could no longer heat up properly and were constantly freezing up, just like yours. The mechanic had to completely replace the old cable connection, which probably took a few hours. It was quite annoying and not exactly a minor problem, but since then everything has been working perfectly again. Hope this helps you!

Hey, great that you're sharing your experience. Do you happen to remember roughly how much the repair cost? And have you had any other problems with the windshield washer nozzles since then or was everything fine? Thank you!

Hey, no problem. It cost me €155 to repair the cable connection. What a mess, to be honest, but it had to be done. And then the spray nozzle heating worked perfectly again. No more ice, no more hassle. I hope this helps you with your decision!

Thank you very much, that definitely helps me. I'll probably take my car to the mechanic then and hope the price is similar. Good to hear you haven't had any more problems since then. Thanks again for your tip and the helpful information!
