Default Windscreen Wash

Hi everyone,

Hope you can help with my query. I have a Volvo S40 and whenever the car drops below 0 degrees the windscreen wash/nozzles just freezes up. I've tried all sorts of additives - diluting it, putting it in neat, using de-icer on the nozzles to defrost them but everything I've tried just doens't seem to do the job. Is there anything else that anyone could suggest I try? Thanks!!

Add some rubbing alcohol to the mix to drop the freezing point. Is that zero C or zero F?
You may also have some other crud in the lines.
