[QUOTE="PoManNox, post: 29945, member: 8300"] It would help to know what the exact trouble code(s) were. Regardless, the icing up of active grille shutters can be a problem with any make/model today. As painful as it is, I don't wash my vehicles in the cold of winter anymore. IMO, it pushes corrosive liquids where corrosive liquids ought not be. I am a big proponent of treating my vehicles with oil, wax, or lanolin based rust proofing though. I do my own treatments with fluid film and/or woolwax in the warm months. I let my vehicles be all winter. If I do wash them on a sunny "warm" winter day, they'll be salty and dirty by the time I get home anyway. [/QUOTE]
