Problems with spray nozzles freezing on the Renault Kangoo 2020 - looking for solutions and experiences

Spray nozzles frozen

Hi guys, I'm having a bit of trouble with my Renault Kangoo (built in 2020, petrol engine). The spray nozzles keep freezing up, which is rather unusual. My guess is that the spray nozzle heater may be broken. Have any of you ever experienced a similar situation and can give me tips on how to rectify the fault? How did you sort it out in the workshop and what were your experiences? I look forward to your help!

Hi, I'm not a full-blooded car mechanic, but I've had a few experiences with my 2018 Renault Scenic - some good, but a lot of annoying ones. I had a similar problem to yours some time ago after I was constantly unable to defrost the windshield. The reason was really the defective cable connection of the spray nozzle heater. I went to my regular garage in the city, they looked at it straight away and were able to rectify the fault quite quickly. It cost me a total of 155 euros, which I personally thought was fine. As I don't know the Kangoo all that well, I could help you more precisely if you give me some information. For example: Have you already determined which cable is defective? Or is there a certain pattern to recognize at which temperatures the problem occurs in particular? Let me hear from you, I look forward to more information!

Hey, thanks for the quick reply! I have to say, you really know your stuff! I don't know exactly which cable is faulty, I'm not much of a mechanic... But I can say that about the temperatures. It usually happens when it's really cold, around 0 degrees or lower. Mine has now run about 48852 kilometers and the last service was a few months ago. But it was at a small garage, not directly at Renault. I hope they haven't messed anything up... I'm a bit worried at the moment whether it could be something bigger. I think I'll go to the garage tomorrow and have it checked. Your 155 euros sounds okay to me too, if it doesn't get any worse. Thank you! I'll let you know how it goes.

Hey, don't worry, still sounds like the spray nozzle heater to me. If it really only happens when it's around freezing, then that's usually a good sign. And let's be honest, if the garage had messed something up during the service, it wouldn't have happened when it was cold. Nothing bad will happen to your Kangoo, the models are really indestructible... I say that from experience! The 155 euros it cost on my Scenic included labor and spare parts. In your case, it could even be cheaper, as your model is newer and the parts may not be as expensive. In any case, have everything checked and see what they say. And let me know here if you find out anything new. I'm excited and really hope that everything turns out well! So, cheer up and all the best for the workshop visit tomorrow.
