Hi, I have a 2001 2.8 Quattro Sport and I've been getting a -40c reading on the dash for exterior temperature. Correct reading would be about 13c. I put this down to a dodgy sensor, so had it replaced with a 2nd hand one but the problem is the same....

Now it is possible that the 2nd hand one could be dodgy but I would say that is unlikely.

Anyone any idea what the problem may be here?

I head that there could be a 2nd temp sensor up near the bulkhead??

Problem solved! The temperature took about 10 mins to gradually increase to the correct level with the replacement sensor.

Ok, so after all this isn't totally fixed.

It takes 10 minutes every time I start the car to get the correct temp reading - it starts at -40c and gradually works upwards.

Any idea why this is??
