temp gauge reading wrong

Post by 406lover »

Just brought a another 406 but the out side temp gauge is reading wrong. I know this becasue driving it home last night said its +56 c out.

Is this a quick swap of the thermotor (if so where abouts is it please) or is it the disply that's wrong

It'll be the sensor which is in the base of the nearside wing mirror. Reasonably easy to change but you'll have to cut the old one off and solder the one one on. New sensor is around £20 from a dealer.

Lovly thank you. Should be easy for me to swap then as I have another 406 in blue (some color) that I'm brecking so should just be able to swap mirrors over.

Well I hope anyways lol
