Tempreture not showing?

[immortalkhalsa]

Hi Guys,

i use to have the out door tempreture showing on my 99 golf (110 bhp, AHF) on the digital display and now it does not show.  i know its a small thing but i would really like to sort this if its a small inexpensive jobe - i hope so.

anyway i have spent some time searching the forum but i can only find details on a temp sensor and thermostat which all seem to relate to the actual cars tempreture and the needle and not the digi display.

ok, so what is the techi term for this sensor and what could the problem and solution be?

thanks in advance

sensor is the front bumper so chances are its not working or the wiring has come loose; think its on the drivers side

on mine, the sensor is behind the passenger side front grill insert

i'm not sure how far back the loom goes though
