Temp Display

[RVP09]

Morning chaps. I don't know if this is a problem but my temperature display keeps showing up in the morning, and every time I get in to the car basically. I normally just change the display back to show the clock, but even if I have been driving my car non-stop for over an hour with the heaters on full, it at some point displays the temperature again. It's annoying 'cos I have to keep changing the display to show the clock.

The temperature readings are usually between -1 degrees and +5 degrees. Might this have something to with anti-freeze? Or some sort of temperature sensor?

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers.

Maybe it changes automatically if if get's colder.
Mines under the clock (no fuel comp on mine)

it does that automatically under 5degrees C.
you'll also notice it has a snowflake symbol -> it's to inform you the weather is getting to freezing point outside...

Yes, that's exactly what comes up. And it's always below 5 degrees. So guess it is normal then!

This is something that's been getting on my tits for ages. Every 0.5°c difference it switches back from whatever I've got it displaying, back to the temperature. Seemingly even if it's getting warmer! I don't want to see it! Gah!

yeah mine does it,
once when i cleaned my car it went to -50c i thought what the hell is going on there looked at the sensor i noticed it had fell out the clip and was hanging in the cold water lol. still cant see how it was -50c tho, they are never spot on but its helps sometimes i suppose. when ever the temp changes it flashes back up.

can it be vagcommed then , its obviously been programmed to change

will have to get it hooked up when the weathers warmer and not -8 , even in the day its only -2 / -3

[Andrewcupra TDI]

[Wolvotim]

had mine on -4.5 at 10:30 this morning when i went out to the car

 

[oldman]

only round the corner from me and think it only said -1

it warns you when it's between -5C and 5C. it's annoying, especially when it's up to -5 after being below.
was particularly annoying in norway when it would quite happily sit there in the background with -15 but warning you when it's -5!

i think the leon's outside temp sensor is fairly accurate. it's certainly within a degree or 2 to our other cars and the thermometer outside the window
