Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I use the Porsche stuff for now, and it advises (for temperate climates) to use one ‘portion’ that you squeeze into the well at the top of the bottle.

My solution is to run it low then flush out and fill 50;50 with the generic stuff.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone had issues with the 991 windscreen washers not working on frosty mornings? The most recent time I was sure the nozzles weren’t frozen over, and there’s nothing wrong with the hoses. My only guess is that the fluid is freezing in the reservoir, but I’m sure I put stuff in which was good to -5 or thereabouts. It might still be the fluid Porsche put in at the least service though.

Try a higher concentration of washer fluid, and purge it all through the system once you’ve topped it up

POST 3Original post

I have similar problem’s although the headlamp washers work. I thought the screen washers were heated with the rear screen, mirrors etc.

POST 4Original post

I don’t think the screen wash Porsche supply and refill at service is winter grade. I’m also lead to believe you shouldn’t mix the standard garage stuff with it. My solution is to run it low then flush out and fill 50;50 with the generic stuff.

POST 5Original post

Sounds like your fluid is a bit too diluted. I use the Porsche stuff for now, and it advises (for temperate climates) to use one ‘portion’ that you squeeze into the well at the top of the bottle. I double that and have had no issues (not a 991, however). Just run the new liquid through the system so it’s in the pipes etc..

POST 6Original post

Get some more concentrate in there sharpish. Mines was way too weak, and it froze and the pipe burst right where is hinges going from the body to the bonnet. Pain to get to - I ended up putting a bit of brake line in to connect and get me going. Need to sort a new pipe out now.
