When I reversed it back into the garage it adjusted itself to a more seasonal -12.5 , I suppose i need a new probe ?

Suspected cause

I don't have that problem on my 996 but on our Disco Sport we sometimes get spurious cold readings when the A/C has been cranked down to very cold and has been working hard to get the car cool which I think is due to condensation forming and affecting the external temp probe/sensor.

Suggestion

Although it could also be worth checking for leaks from the A/C that could be causing the probe (or part thereof) to be cooled by something it shouldn't be.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello so today is the warmest day of the year so far , but my car reckons it’s in Siberia ! OBC outside temperature reading was -21 ! When I reversed it back into the garage it adjusted itself to a more seasonal -12.5 , I suppose i need a new probe ? Thanks 75 PNO

Yes, it sounds like it. Although it could also be worth checking for leaks from the A/C that could be causing the probe (or part thereof) to be cooled by something it shouldn't be. I don't have that problem on my 996 but on our Disco Sport we sometimes get spurious cold readings when the A/C has been cranked down to very cold and has been working hard to get the car cool which I think is due to condensation forming and affecting the external temp probe/sensor. Someone much more technically competent than me will be able to point you in the best direction though I'm sure...

Update New outside temperature probe / sensor fitted , all back to normal now ?? 75 PNO
