Title: Mfa outside temperature
Post by: walchy01 on 05 August 2010, 13:43

As above, my mfa outside temperature is only reading 10 degrees at 13.00pm when I know it is warmer than that, anybody got any ideas, was fine before it went for a lick of paint  :laugh:

Thanks for your help

Mine is reading 18 so unless you are on top of a windy cold hill in sheff... It's not reading right....

Maybe they have painted the sensor for you for free.... :laugh:

Took it out again for another drive, now reading correctly at 16 on the hills of the peaks in Sheffield

 ithink the sensor is mounted on the chassis leg so might be worth giving it a clean, may have got some paint/dust on it from body shop

Mine reads about 3 degrees light - asked on THE Forum if there was a way to recalibrate - apparently not! Anyway could try a new sensor and as said it is behind the nearside front arch plastic liner so more than a few minutes job to access.

Let us know how you get on.

Cheers.

Any ideas if we can get the sensors from any where? Mine has never read any thing as Im pretty sure this cable I have hanging around in my bay is the one missing the temp sensor.
