Seeking Solutions for Frozen Spray Nozzles in 2003 Nissan Vanette due to Possible Heater Malfunction

Spray nozzles frozen

Hey there fellow car fans, I'm dealing with a weird issue on my 2003 Nissan Vanette, Gasoline engine. The spray nozzles seem frozen - my best guess is that there's a heater malfunction. Anyone ever had a similar problem and how did your workshop handle it? What was your experience like? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Hey, I've got a 2001 Nissan Navara, so pretty similar beast to your Vanette. I'm no expert, just have some car know-how. Had nearly the same issue, mine wasn't about the heater though, it was a defective cable connection. Took my Navara to my local guy, he knows his stuff, sorted it out for €155. Not sure if you're facing the same issue but worth taking a look at. Hey, which Vanette model are you rocking? Engine spec? Might help to dig a bit deeper. Take it easy, Ben

Hey Ben, Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it! I will certainly check out the cable connection. My Vanette model is a 2003 with a Gasoline engine. She's only done about 14326 km. I've not had a major service done recently but she's been running pretty well except for this bothersome nozzle issue. I will take her to the workshop next weekend and see what's up. Cheers back at ya, Dave

No worries, Dave! Always happy to help a fellow Nissan owner. With the engine specs and model year you've given, it definitely sounds similar to what I had. My Navara has somewhat more kilometers on it (bless her heart) but these older Nissans are built tough. You're doing the right thing by taking her to the workshop. Let us know what they find! Hopefully, it's just a simple cable thing like mine was and not a heater malfunction that might cost a bit. Just make sure whoever you take it to, they know their Nissans. Catch you later, Ben

Hey again Ben, Thanks for the encouragement, really helps to hear from someone who's had a similar issue! I'll definitely keep your advice in mind when choosing a suitable workshop. Fingers crossed it's just a cable situation like you mentioned, don't fancy landing a bill for a faulty heater. I'll keep this thread updated when I find out. Catch you on the flip side, Dave
