the temp out here is always at around 30 celcius..

for some odd reason... the temp gauge in the obc showed that
the temp is 4.5 celcius...

what the heck happened?

thanks!

Mmm, check the little sensor, see what it's up to. It's on the left side of the front spoiler, kinda to the side of the foglamps, if I remember correctly, just feel around for it.

Sounds like a ground connection problem. If I'm not mistaken, this sensor shares a ground connection point with the headlights. Check for ground at the sensor before switching on the lights and after. There should be no difference, if there is check the ground connection at the chassis behind the left headlights. It's the only thing that comes to mind right now or the sensor could be shot.

btw where exactly is the temperature sensor located... i think this is a good place to start. couldnt find it in the diagrams of realoem.com (or im not looking at the right places) :D

Should be on the front left side of your bumper, right next to the fog light. There is a cover next to it which you can pull off and behind it should be the sensor.
