Are the exterior temp sensors likely to go wrong? Mine is reading 19c today when it is clearly much more than that here. I would say it is in the high 20's at least. Would Vag com show up a faulty sensor? Cheers.

Mine was also reading 19C and car was parked in sun... was thinking exactly the same thing as you!!

You can try swapping the sensor, its in the bumper down behind the n/s grill.

wiring run with fog lights?

IIRC the temp sensor is on its own spur down the front but the wires are close.

Wondered what that thing was when i was fiddling with fogs... now i know!!

I had a Cavalier courtesy car once which alleged it was 75

Mine recently went silly & slowly got worse,, it seemed to read incredibly low first thing in the morning (-24.5 as an example last week )& then slowly improve, it was fixed under warranty & it was corrosion in a wire leading to the sensor rather than the sensor itself so if you have a problem & its not warranteed check this first.

Whilst it was faulty, once it had sorted itself after about 5 miles it was generally reading about 10 degrees below the actual temp. BIG DOWNSIDE is that the aircon wont deliver cold air if the temp its sensing is below -4

you guys sure your not reading your climate control setting by mistake the one you want is on the left hand side

Outer temp sensor 1J0919379A have been known to go down.

Not sure where they are.

But these guys do.

Have fun!

Don't forget it only measures temperature and not humidity.

Higher humidity makes it feel warmer than it is.
