Title: Where is or should be the outside temp sensor ?
Post by: 16vbanger on 02 October 2005, 19:17

as the outside temp according to our 88 valver is a whoping -40  :laugh:
it was the same on our old 87 8valve so I assue the sensor is missing
so where should it be and what should it look like ? a pic would be great as I have almost everything from an 88 valver tucked away  :wink:

it plugs into the wing on the passenger side and is hidden by the bumper. all you can see from the outside(with the bumper removed) is a plastic blob clipped in place, you have to go in from underneath and possibly remove a few things to get at it......
