How to unfreeze the washer if it is frozen?

Unfortunately, no one can be absolutely immune from defective products, and not infrequently we are confronted with embarrassing problems, such as windshield washer fluid is frozen in the morning.

Of course, it could happen to our inattention, forgetting to drain the water out of the ordinary windshield washer reservoir before the onset of cold weather or just topping it freezing liquids, we put at risk the car, as the solution thus obtained is, of course, can not guarantee stability to low temperatures. Anyway, if everyone did this happen, and we discovered this morning that the liquid in the tank is frozen, no need to panic right away, perhaps, nothing terrible has not happened and said the classic "horse escaped with slight shock." Here we talk about the situation when the liquid is not completely frozen, no harm expanding pumps, hoses and nozzles windshield, in such cases, of course you will only repair.
The most simple and the first thing that we can advise if there is time and opportunity, driving a car on a heated parking, for example under the Trade Center and leave overnight. If all components of the windshield of the car intact, the morning is completely melted pour the liquid and pour a new one, this time the quality.
If you do not have time and opportunity to call in a warm garage, you'll need a lot of hot water (if you're just dolete nezamerzayku, even freezing liquid concentrate into the tank washer, it does not help, it can not unfreeze the ice, it just does not itself freezes at low temperatures), syringe and a siphon-pear or other means for pumping melted water from the tank washer. Beware! Do not pour hot water immediately at the tank washer, it can crack from temperature changes, at first simply pour hot water, pouring boiling water and pumping out the cooling water from the cistern slowly thaw the ice, if you have access to the turns of leading from the tank to the pump can pour on them hot water, outside. Only when you can be sure that the system is not left the ice, drain the water from a pump on the windshield glass. If you froze the outlets of nozzles, try to thaw them with a syringe with hot water. Warning, do not include extra time windshield washer pump in a frozen liquid, it just hurt him if he was still working properly (if a motor pump is silent and no signs of life, check the fuse, it may have burned).
