Peugeot 5008 (2021) BlueHDi 1.5 - Turbo intercooler blockage by frozen condensed water

Hi!

I'm writing with an issue where me nor local car service can't figure out the source of the problem and the solution.
Problem itself is: During cold weather while driving longer distances turbo intercooler collects condensed water which freezes after the ride if car stays outside and the result is that there's engine failure after that and no possibilities to continue driving. It happens after every 2-3 days when it's minus degrees outside and local peugeot car service has offered only temporary solutions because apparently they don't have any good ideas from peugeot manufacture how to solve this problem nor does peugeot manufacture has certain solution. They say that it's common problem with this car and still can't find better solution, but when googleing it I can't find any information what so ever that anyone has ever had that kind of problem with almost new car.

So my question is, is there anyone who has been dealing with the same problem and have found a better solution than visiting the service twice per week for temprary one?

Regards,
Arlo

Basically at first they rinsed the intercooler and just hoped that it won't gonna happen again, but it did and last time I went to service they put some kind of cover on it so that the cool air wouldn't blow on the intercooler while driving. But since it's been over 0 degrees after that, it's hard to understand if it actually work or not, but overall it seems to be sketchy situation anyways, because I have never heard anyone would have that.
