eyemdee Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I was just wondering whether anyone here knows where the outside temperature sensor is located on the Mk7 Fiesta. While I was sitting in a 2 hour traffic jam in Southampton yesterday my dash readout of outside temperature rose from 17 deg C (about right) to 36 deg C). I concluded that the lack of movement was causing the sensor to be affected by engine temperature and wondered whether it could be relocated. I have looked in the Haynes manual but there is no mention of this sensor that I can find, neither is it mentioned in the bumper removal details which is where I would expect to find it.

Luke Fletcher Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 i had a little look round on the net and all i could find for you is 'its usually located quite low behind the front bumper' hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may be affected by the auto transmission fluid cooler which is also around there. Thanks anyway, I will have to get underneath and have a looksie when I get a chance.

thegame1512 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Did you find it? Cause I would like to know where to look! Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 My Titanium (manual 1.4) does the same. I suspect the sensor is located near the radiator. As soon as you start moving the temperature quickly drops to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OM602fan Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Could anyone possibly make a photo of exact location of the temperature sensor in mk7. I am rebuilding my car after a bump and I haven't got a clue where it should be attached. It is hanging on a wire at the moment. Thanks.
