Temperature WTF!!!???
« on: July 22, 2013, 01:05:17 pm »
It's about 33 degrees today in London, and my temperature gauge says 21.5 and took around an hour to move to 22  :scared:

It hasn't moved from 22 - does anybody have any suggestions???

Knackered thermometer maybe?
Where are these located and are they expensive and/or easy to swap??  :confused:

Thanks

Do you reckon it's the thermometer, or is it a sensor?
Is it easy to swap?

Thanks guys - is it expensive and an easy swap?
Also, will it affect how the car gives me hot or cold air by way of the climate control?  :confused:

Disconnected the battery, then reconnected afte a few minutes, it then showed the correct temperature of 36 degrees.  Problem now though is its still saying 36 degrees and its clearly a lot cooler   :confused:
