RE: Outside temperature sensor

If I'm not mistaken, the sensor is located near the engine air intake
(anyone?). It does read high when you're sitting in stop-go traffic, but it
seems really accurate when you're travelling down the road.

Subject: Outside temperature sensor


Hi,

I bought a 1998 VR6 Jetta that had a missing outside temperature
sensor.  So, I had an outside temperature sensor installed.  When I
compare the outside temperature reading in my car's MFA to other outdoor
temperature displays, such as those we find in banks, the readin in my
car is higher by about 6 degrees.

Is this common or did I get a bad sensor?

Thanks.
-Paul
