External (outside) temperature sensor
Hello All,
I have a 1998 S8; the external temp on the VDO screen shows -45 most of the time, but sometimes it starts going up slowly until it reaches near the proper temperature (which is +24 these days).
I suppose that the sensor is broken or loose. I am trying to locate it in the engine compartement but I ran out of luck. I assumed it would be somewhere near the front bumper. Anybody knows where it is located?
Maybe mine has falled off or something, how can I make sure?
Many thanks!

Down low, in front of the radiator.

Re: Down low, in front of the radiator.
Yes I do.
Thank you very much. Obviously, mine had fallen off. I was able to find the plug roaming free in the engine bay
Lucky it hasn't tangled with anything.
Thanks again!
