vw.classics 0 Posted December 12, 2012 I have a fully functioning MFA showing the time, oil temp, ave MPG, trip time....but no outside temperature?! I'm fairly certain that my other Corrado 16v and VR6's have all shown external temp so I can't understand why this one doesn't? It's a 95 VR6... Any obvious areas to check or please let me know if it doesn't have the external temp on this model's MFA computer. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted December 12, 2012 If the outside temp isn't showing it means the sensor is broke/missing. The sensor is located in the front bumper/drivers side if I remember rightly (I moved mine into my air box lol) It's like a plastic lump sat in a plug.

Do you access it from the engine bay side of the bumper or externally e.g under the fog lights on front bumper? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted December 12, 2012 I think, and don't quote me on this as it's a long while since I messed with mine...But I think you access it from engine bay, sticking your arm down towards the bumper grill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice one, I'll take a look. Thanks for the quick reply :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbradley98 0 Posted December 12, 2012 It might just be disconnected! Had an emergency radiator replacement at a garage I won't be going back to and amongst other things they forgot to reconnect it once they'd finished fitting the rad and were putting it back together!

Stonejag 10 Posted December 13, 2012 Mine's been hanging about loose next to the carbon canister ever since I bought it. The cable for mine isn't even close to long enough to reach the bumper (it barely stretches to the slam panel!) - was there anywhere else they were ever fitted?

Jim Bowen 1 Posted December 13, 2012 I fitted mine from underneath, but had arch liners removed so might of been easier Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
