HI guys,

Does the outside temperature have anything in common with the cabin temperature?
In same time i have problem with outside temperature sensor and with heating in cabine.
It shows me the outside temperature of 55 degrees and I have problems because it heats me up less in cabine

Hi

I don't think the internal and external sensor readings are linked.

I can't even think why they should be.


Maybe you just have a heater fault?

Heating good only after 26 degrees. 27,28,and 29.
20-26 fan cold.

Before problems with sensor work properly (21,22,23 degree is enough)

If you have "automatic" digital climate control, I believe the outside temp sensor is tied into the climate control.

I have problems with my temperature sensor when it gets very wet.

FYI it's the little bulge underneath the right hand wing mirror.

Yes, I have "automatic" digital climate control.
I'll try to change sensor.
Is that complicated?
