Summer's come early!!
« on: 22 February 2008, 11:04:02 »
Driving to work this morning glanced at MID and Outside Temp was reading 20 and gradually moved up to 22.5. Now I know it's a bit milder at the moment but I don't think it's being entirely truthful!! ::)

I know the previous owner (Big Rod) had a small issue with a bad connection somewhere near the sensor. Could this be the same or is the sensor cream crackered?

Noticed the same thing Wednesday evening after scrapping the ice of my car to go fencing, the outside temp was reading 9 degrees.

Just wondered if this reading is used buy the ECU to vary petrol/air mixture at all?

No it uses air temp on intake on earlier V6s, and purely the MAF on DBW V6

As a matter of interest, would the outside temp sensor effect the heating inside the car? Mine's normally in the Auto and Eco mode but it seemed noticeably cooler this morning.
