New sensor 

Looking at the front It is under the right hand lower grill. You need to remove the bumper.

another thing, it says in the bumper removal guide "CAREFULLY pull out on the bumper, and set it down in front of the car. It will still be connected by the wiring for the corner lights (and outside temp sensor if you have a GLX)"

i aint got a GLX i dnt think, its a 1.8T lol or am i being a tw*t lol

Try disconnecting it then see if the reading disappears from the display
