The colder it is outside, the worse any, even the most frost-resistant branded winter fluid in the car’s windshield washer reservoir works. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells about the
Perhaps every Russian car owner has observed the following phenomenon. You get an “antifreeze” with a declared performance up to 30, or even up to 35 degrees below zero, and this mush begins to thicken already at -15. And instead of cheerful fountains, the windshield washers hardly emit droplets of viscous liquid – there is little pleasant. But you can’t help it: no one promises that the “-35-degree” windshield washer fluid with a strong “minus” will be as liquid on the street as on a warm trading floor at the time of purchase.
Does it somehow flow even with the vibrancy of jelly? So the manufacturer has not lied! But this state of affairs does not suit all motorists. Some people think about the need to heat the “antifreeze” a little extra so that it becomes thinner in cold weather. The author of these lines has never heard about regular systems of such heating on the vast majority of cars sold in Russia. With the exception of the optional electrically heated nozzles on some models.
Therefore, as a rule, a “thermal upgrade” of the windshield washer system is an abnormal modification of the car, where car owners do not go for a good life. Someone builds a “heater” on their own, and someone buys an installation package from a company specializing in the manufacture of such devices. This can be an electric heating device, or one that uses the heat from the engine cooling system. In any case, in the end we get a windshield washer reservoir with fluid heated to 20-30-40 degrees above zero. And in the most bitter frost overboard! The beauty? Yes. But there is a nuance!
When using a heated windshield washer, you should always remember: the hot liquid from the washers ends up on the cold windshield. And the colder it is outside, the greater this temperature difference. With -20 overboard and a forty degree “washer” this “delta” becomes almost 60 degrees Celsius! Such a sharp heating is a provocation of the instant cracking of the windshield.
Have you seen how a long crack appears in winter, the width of the entire “frontal” crack due to the inclusion of strong blowing with warm air? So, when using a heated “antifreeze”, something similar happens. Only directly over the entire surface of the windshield. This suggests that for winter use, the heating system of the washing machine is a good thing. But only if you don’t overdo it with heat…
