Default Jay, not sure if you saw, but I went 11.90 recently in my APR Stg3 as well
Looks like our cars are running pretty similar. I look forward to some cooler weather to see how that may change things...<ul><li><a href="http://www.s4biturbo.com/timeslips.cgi">http://www.s4biturbo.com/timeslips.cgi</a</li></ul>

There are two sensors. One in front of the radiator and one in the cabin air intake.

Default I thought the outside air temp sensor was located on the front of the car, ahead of radiator and A/C
condenser?

Default Thanks for the info! Is the display an average of the two sensors? On my Passat there are two
outside air temp readings (one on the dash and one on the Climate control panel, and they will not always agree...).

Default Something like that. If your climate control is working properly then its probably just the front
sensor. If the climate control is acting wierd, then it might be teh cabin intake sensor.
