This may seem like a trivial problem, but it's very annoying. The external temperature reading on the main PCM 2 screen constantly reads about 10 degrees higher than it should be. I have a 2003 C4 and have checked out the sensor at the front air intake and it seems fine. Any suggestions?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

There is a outside temp sensor on the 996 which is located in the front bumper grill(off-side I think but if not, look at the near-side) It looks a bit like a crimbo tree light and they often do get damaged and/or not replaced, especially if the car has had a minor shunt and/or the bumper removed. just did a search and found http://www.911uk.com/viewtopic.php?p=589727&sid=e4073cdce928e37dc3b0a4c16b1e715e
