Definately radiant heat from the engine here.

engine compartment/exhaust system may influence the reading, but a 
reading after you have been going steady down the road for a while 
should be more accurate.  It doesn't hold up regarding the Jetta, 
however.  There is always somewhere between 5 and 10 degrees 
difference between the car's reading and the local banks.  The current 
weather when I check the car gauge gives me the feeling  that the temp 
the banks show are probably the correct one as well.

located in the bottom passenger side front under the bumper in a blank 
black piece in you front spoiler. Make sure it's clean and no snow on 
it.
