Instrument cluster external temperature display
I have a problem with the external temperature display.
All is fine when the car has just been started, however when at normal temperature and sitting in traffic (ALA M25) the temperature display will rise from the ambient air temperature and keep going. Last Friday it made it to 40c with a real air temp of around 18c. However once on the move the display drops to the correct temp.
I am guessing the sensor has become detached and resting on part of the cooling system or is otherwise measuring the temp inside the engine bay.
Where on the pre facelift D3 is the sensor located, I know on the D2 it was down in front of the radiator on the nearside (UK).
