So, last time after it warmed up in the garage, I was using the fluid and got it down so the dash warning came on (volcano). I wanted to run it all the way out incase there was something less than par in that fluid. Well, driving home that night, I was using the wipers quite a bit and didn't want to run out, so I stopped at the rest stop and bought some new fluid. I verified it said good to "-20F" (or -25F, I forget). I just wanted to verify because on another jug I only recalled it saying "20 degrees below zero", it never said F or C from what I recall.

Anyway, I filled up the resevoir and last night I parked outside. Sure enough, this morning I couldn't spray on front or rear. Now perhaps I didn't use enough additional fluid since I filled it to get the (suspected) bad fluid out of the lines. But then again, the lines can't hold that much fluid, at least not to the front wipers. Well, I won't know for sure until I thaw this out and use enough fluid so I know the system has been cleaned out. Maybe I'll go out there now and see what the fluid in the resevoir looks like - I haven't looked at that yet to see if it's frozen there, or likely only in the lines. Also, I looked at the tips of the nozzels and they were dry as a bone, nicely covered under the overhand of the hood - so I don't think those are the issue. Especially since it would be unlikely for all 5 nozzels to have it happen all at the same time. And finally, the last time when I did thaw it and then it sat all day at work, I could see when I tried to spray them then, it was very sluggish, as if there was slush fluid partially blocking the flow.

Sucks driving this otherwise nice car and have to keep pulling over to manually wipe/wash/clean the windows because you can't see.

The NSX works here, as does the Nogaro S4. As for the Z8, STi, and M5, I think they work for one of the other companies.

Also there was a Porsche 911 Targa here, but I haven't seen that in a while.
