Spray nozzles frozen

Hey, no problem, you're welcome! Your garage probably didn't mention anything because it's often the case that they really don't know what the problem is until they examine it in detail. On my E-Class, it was that the cables were no longer in good condition and as a result the spray nozzle heater wasn't working properly. Next time you're out in cold weather and the nozzles freeze up again, you could run a warm liquid (e.g. warm water) over the nozzles to de-ice them. Just be careful not to damage the nozzles. I hope this helps a bit until you get the car back to the garage. Hopefully it's just a minor wiring problem! But as I said, that can only be determined on closer inspection. Good luck!

Wow, that's really helpful, thanks! It's a bit reassuring to know that it might just be a cable problem. And that's a good tip about the warm water - I'll try it out if it happens again. Well, I hope it won't be too expensive at the garage. I'll report back on how it went. Thanks again and have a nice day!

Hello, I had a similar problem with my Mercedes E-Class (built in 2009). The cable connection seems to be defective. I'm no expert, but I helped with the repair. We found this at my garage and it cost me 155 euros to fix. You probably need something with the same procedure. But to help more, could you please share more information about your car? Especially if there have been other problems recently? I hope this information is useful for you!
