Outside temp sensor for the mfa computer?

Recommended Posts

Does anybody know where the sensor is that controls the mfa reading for the outside temperature. I'm guessing it's under the bonnet someplace? Mine is faulty, just seeing if it an easy fix? Thanks :)

It lives down in the front bumper on the drivers side - if you look under the indicator in the black plastic vents on the underside of the bumper you should see a small hole where the sensor plugs in. You should be able reach it under the car. One thing to check is that both your fog lights work.. a Corrado I owned several years ago had the fog light on that side not working, and the temperature sensor didn't work - turns out the plug / connector is the same for both and they had been plugged into each other! Swapped them over, and all golden again :)

Legend, thanks m8. My car is an early model (if that matters) 1.8 16v both fogs work fine m8. Just get dodge reading from it. I think when the engine gets hot it says it's summer outside.. Haha

As yours is an early valver it lives in the brake cooling duct instead - same area although it will be inside the cooling duct - bit of a pain to get to and unclip compared to the later fitting.

I think mines knackered also, I just get a "--" on the MFA. The fogs do work though.

 

I'll have to see about replacing it.

That I didn't know! Guess as I never owned an early Corrado it never even occurred to me :)

Can you still get the sensors? If vw sell them (I bet they don't) they will cost a bomb. Does anybody know the part number? Mine does work but it's not very good when the engine is hot.. Lol thanks as always every one.
