outside temperature - where's the sensor placed?
« on: 15 October 2014, 18:18 »
hi guys

i was wondering whether anyone knows where is the sensor placed that provides the info for outside temp, just for the fun of it  :laugh: (and also maybe to scare the missus by blowing hot air on it and showing off a 50+ celcius on the MFD)  :grin:

They are surprisingly durable, my old Leon was in a front end crash last year and even with the sensor just sitting loosely it was still giving an accurate reading afterwards!
