In theast few days my outside temp is playing up. It starts off fine but then will start to drop and will go suddenly to 1.5 Deg then to -4 degrees , and -12 degrees. It then slowly works it way back to normal temp, sits there for a few mins then drops down again.

Is this a fault probe?

If so, I've read I need to remove the bumper to replace it. This would be a fairly easy task but the bolts on the under tray that attach to the bumper are either totally rusted or the anchor nuts are spinning so they are a job I will get round to eventually and grind them off and replace them

But for now, is it possible to replace the temp sensor without removing the bumper? I read you canxremove one grill but how easy is that, has anyone done it

Hey mate,

Usually its a temp sensor itself. its 3-4 quid. The only other issue I encountered is corossion in the cable.

Update

I have put purchased a new sensor but not fitted it yet, BUT I noticed today as I had my av MPG showing at the same time, is when my temp suddenly dropped from 6 to -1.5 and I got the warning for ice, my MPG also dropped from 55 to 23. I assume the issue is electric and linked ? Any ideas before I change the sensor for no reason ?
