Volvo v50 outside temperature sensor location.
Seems to have occurred when the weather got warmer here but not sure since it is fairly intermittent.
My volvo v50 outside temperature gauge often give a very inaccurate reading such as showing 12c when i know it is about 4 this in turn make the interior thermostat try and raise the temperature to a ridiculous high heat.
Often at switch on the reading appears to be accurate and sometimes remains ok for some time 1 hour or longer then i can watch a count down every couple of seconds or so to as low as 7c then can fluctuate in the low range of a minus figure up to plus 2 or 3c.
