Hello skodanians,

Ambient/outside temp sensor currently showing 7-10 degrees higher than actual.  Need to replace sensor, but cannot find current location.

Please help.

 

Much obliged.

How do you know that your external temperature gauge is incorrect? Are you getting incorrect readings in the car? I'm wondering if it is read by the Air Quality Sensor under the front passenger side windscreen wiper. If it is the Air Quality Sensor, this will be reported on CANBUS. We need a scan of your car to confirm this.

Based on the workshop manual, it's in the normal VAG location (number 9):

 

 

It also suggests the front bumper needs removing to access it but you might be lucky and not need to:

Oh no!  Removing the bumper!  Wonder what that will cost?

 

Thanks @langers2k.

Is there a place one can source a pdf version of the workshop manual?

Yes there are workshop manuals on Briskoda and you can for a small fee go onto Skoda Erwin and put in your VIN and download the information from there.
