Hi all,
During the cold snap we had before Christmas 2010, my external temperature sensor was intermittently reporting wildly inaccurate readings. For example, one mild morning it reported -10, but then was apparently fine again for a few days. Then it reported -17!
I booked it in over Christmas to have it looked at, but there was 'no fault found'.
Now during the hot weather we've been having over easter, it's reporting anywhere between 0 and -22, and is occurring every day. I've managed to take some photos this time, and its booked in to be fixed at the end of the month.
Anyway, onto my question: Does anyone know if this temperature sensor has any bearing on any of the cars systems, or is it purely just to tell me how hot/cold it is outside?
