It's -40 in Sheffield!
« on: 15 January 2009, 14:24:21 »
My outside temp is showing that it is -40! I have a feeling that the temp sensor has broken. Where is it and is it easy to replace? Also does the replacement part I need vary depending on the model/age of the car (just wondering if I can get a second hand one without worrying about what car it is from)?

Thanks,

Rob.

Mine does that on my calibra, if you drive it long enough it takes its self down to -22 but never driven long enough to see if it drops all the way.

Who would have thought, I dealer doing a part at below £20. Maybe I'm just a sceptic!

I'll go and get one and then see if I can work out how to fit it.

That must've been a looooong loooong time ago then ;). I was offered a sensor of this type for about the same money years ago for my Senator ...... needles to say the Senators used different more expensive sensors.  :y  :y  :y

I think it must be -90 now! I'm not even getting a reading! I guess this means the sensor has completely failed now.
