  • Sensor On front bottom grill?

    Was looking at pulling out the front grills yesturday and noticed a small sensor attached to the bottom front left or right (depends what way you are looking at the car) grill.

          Is that monitoring it for the benefit of the engine or another unit?

                Well, depends what it is actually for, but the outside temp shows on that. Whether that sensor is for the outside temp... that's a different qn (the original one)

                    unfortunately not on the TDI's

                    only 2 buttons on the end of the indicator stalk for cruise control!

                          Diesel drivers don't care what temperature it is or how much fuel it uses. Apparently.
