Temperature gauge

Post by Matty81 »

Hi guys,

How do I get the temp gauge on the trip computer to work? It's the one that shows under the fuel consumption so at the mo it just shows _ _: _C but no numbers. Do I have to do something or is something faulty?

Thanks

Sounds as if the sensor is faulty. The sensor is located behind the passenger side front grill.

Nope, it's a little sensor on it's own behind the front passenger grill. It's located in a hole just out of airflow.

Ah ok thanks. Do you know what part on eBay I would need? I've had a look and there are loads of sensors
