Outside Temp?

[-Sy-]

Finally remembered to postthis message!... My Temp reading on my sat nav screen always reads 18.5 or higher (Up to 23) depending on how hot it is. Now I know this must be faulty was it does it when its snowing!:D

Where is the sensor located? Is this a common problem at all?

There is a probe behind the front bumper, not sure if it's the right one that you're looking for

[Gorbash12346]

pretty sure it's mounted behind the lower grill on the right hand side and yes they are a common fault (looking at the car from the front)

[MartinSullivan]

yeah its the one behind the front lower grill as Gorbash says

Whats the best way to fix this?, Dealer or can i sort it myself?

If you car is still in warrenty get it done by the dealer, if it isnt - remove the front bumper (easy to do) and swap the probe for a new one bought from your dealer. If its reading something then I would suspect the wiring etc is ok and its the sensor thats gone US. I think this (http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=RE32&mospid=48020&btnr=65_0745&hg=65&fg=70) is the part.

usually it will say -40 if the wiring is damaged

Cheers for the replys folks. I've booked Coopsie in at John Clark for Thursday to have it looked at, Also going to have a poke about today and see if theres any other niggly things needing fix (Air intake is never secure under the bonnet)
