Frost protection of the spray nozzles on an Opel Captiva: experience and solutions wanted
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
The main issue is the freezing of spray nozzles on a 2006 Opel Captiva, suspected to be caused by a malfunctioning nozzle heater. A similar problem was resolved in an Opel Mokka by repairing a defective cable connection, which restored the spray nozzle function. It is suggested to check the cable connection as a potential solution to the problem.

Hey, thanks for your feedback! Your experience sounds pretty similar to my problem. Can you remember how much you paid for the repair? And did you have any other problems with the spray nozzles afterwards? It would be really helpful if you could share this info with me. Many thanks in advance!

Hey, it cost me €155 back then to repair the cable connection. But it was totally worth it! The good news is that since I've seen the mechanic, there have been no further problems with the spray nozzle heating. Everything is running smoothly again!

Great, that sounds very reassuring! 155 sounds fair for solving the problem. I hope there's nothing more serious with my car. Your experience really gives me hope. I'll sort it out with my mechanic and hope for a problem-free journey afterwards. Many thanks for your support, colleague!

Hey, I had a similar problem with my Opel Mokka from 2009. In my case it was the cable connection that was defective. It was really serious because without a working spray nozzle the windshield can't be cleaned and that can be really dangerous. On my last visit to the garage, this was fixed and everything worked perfectly again afterwards. I would recommend you check this too. Have a safe journey.
