| External Temperature sensor |
|
My car was saying it was 5 degrees this afternoon and the FBH fired up, it was more like 15 and glorious sunshine!
Im guess the external temp sensor is faulty.
I know where it is, I know how to change it, I just can't for the life of me find one to buy, except one that looks similar on famous 4x4, but seems quite pricey.
Does anyone know the part number so I can try find a better price.
Thanks

there is a awfully long delay in increasing the temperature displayed compared to real temp.
I've has problems where I have parked the car with it 5°C in the morning, come out in the afternoon in the sun and it's still reading 5 for ages! or very slowing rising by 1 deg per mile !

I know it's not hugely reliable but it's never stayed that low before,
It was sat in direct sun for 5 hours too, so it should have moved up a bit from the morning.
Got a genuine new one for £7 anyway

eBay in the end. Searched the part number and a brand new genuine one popped up with a cheap BIN.

I got in the car today. Reading 9°C
Looked on my phone and it's meant to be 15°C.
Slowly along the journey it rose. At the end of the trip it was reading 14°C
