Hello everyone, first post on here so treat me gently! It's actually not my car but my wife Rebecca's (who is on here as... err .... Rebecca ).
We've noticed that the external temperature is overreading - it's consistently about 3 degrees over what the temperature actually is. It's been in to a dealer, and strangely they couldn't find anything wrong... Today is the first day I've driven the car since, and low and behold the car was saying it was 14C when it was actually about 11.5C (as verified by my own car, and a temperature readout on a building).
So, seeing as Audi can't find the problem, I was thinking of just changing the temp sensor myself but I don't know where it is located. On my MK4 Golf it's down behind the front bumper on the passenger side, but rather than take everything apart and find it not there I thought I would register and check.
Is changing the sensor relatively easy?
Cheers
Alex.
