I got in my car yesterday and noted that the outside temp reading was 12°C, when it was clearly well over 20° outside.  This did not fix itself for at least 20 minutes.

Anyone else had this issue?  I'm 5000km overdue for a service and will be booking one in for the coming weeks.

Please feel free to move this to the appropriate forum.  Not sure if it belongs here.

Hi Pika.

Spookily enough I was looking at your profile around an hour ago and noticed you hadn't logged on since August 2nd. Spooky eh? :eek:

I've not had that temperature issue in Fergie. Where is the sensor I wonder? In a previous car it was in the drivers door mirror and the one before that it was in the front bumper.

Aug 2?  Was it that long ago?  Oh well, I'm back as I had previously lost the link and have been racking my brain as to how to find this forum.

Hi guys, please see the link: http://www.hyundaiclub.net/download/file.php?id=5033 This clearly shows where the ambient sensor is. Hope it helps you at least a lil bit :)

Me thinks there is a considerable amount of hysteresis designed into the readout. Mine does the same.....no concerns here...
