One of my female friends has a fault with the thermometer read-out on her dash, so I'd like to get that sorted as soon as possible for maximum brownie points.

The read-out for outside temperature on the centre of the dash hovers around -30. Does anyone know a particular reason why this could be happening? Common fault with them?


Thanks to anyone who can help

Its a vauxhall... they = Sh*ite. Ok so i had enough of them. But dont know the answer in fact doubt vauxhall will either. so will cost a small fortune to correct.

Assuming there the same as the older ones its probably either the sensor broken/missing or a failure in the wiring to it. In the older cars they were behind the bumper grill and with the sensor disconnected would display between -30 and -40....

Hope this helps some rather then hinders !

Yes, helps a lot thanks. I'll have a look for that when I next see her.

My combo van displays about +36 to +38, it has done for the last couple of years. I've unplugged the sensor a few times hoping that would cure it.
I've often wondered if it would be a cheap fix.

Yes, Eddie 1980 is right, they are around the front bumper out of the way from the air flow. look for two wires going towards the centre, £15 approx
