Hey there! I've had a similar issue with my 2016 Volvo S90. I am not a car mechanic but I know my way around my car to some extent. I took my S90 to the local workshop when I noticed the issue. Turned out, the culprit was a defective cable connection that's supposed to keep the heater working properly. Getting that fixed ran me about 95 Euro. Can you tell me more about when the nozzles freeze? Is it after you've just started the car or after it's been running for some time? This might help pinpoint the issue further.

Hey there! Thanks for the quick response. It's a bit strange, the nozzles usually freeze up a few minutes after I start driving not immediately on startup. Also, the little bugger has done 147453 KM since the last service, so I reckon there might be some wear and tear. Hoping it's not going to cost a bomb! Cheers .

Hey! Sounds like we've got similar mileage on our Volvos! The “few minutes after you start driving” sounds a bit like my situation. That's sort of what made my mechanic guess it was the cable, as the system was supposed to be regulating the heater to prevent freezing. Also, don't discount general wear and tear, particularly on the pipes delivering the washer fluid, if there's a tiny leak that liquid can freeze and block the system entirely. Lastly, doesn't hurt to check the type of windshield washer fluid you're using. Make sure it's rated for cold temperatures. Hope you won't have to shell out too many kangaroo dollars! I'll raise a pint to your good luck with the repair. Cheers!

Ahh, you might be onto something there. Definitely worth giving it a check, I'll look into the cable issue and the pipes as well. Can't deny the age factor and those KMs. The fluid's pretty good, made sure to get the one for extreme colds. Seems like I'll need it with this weather! Thanks for the tips, my friend, and if it does cost kangaroo dollars, we can share that pint to numb the pain! Cheers.

Hola amigos, tengo un Volvo V90 de 2018 con motor de gasolina que actúa un poco raro. Se me congelan las boquillas de pulverización, y tampoco es la típica congelación invernal. Supongo que podría ser un defecto en el calentador de la boquilla, pero quería consultar con ustedes para ver si han experimentado esto. ¿Cómo solucionaste el problema? Cualquier consejo de tus visitas al taller sería de gran ayuda. Muchas gracias.
