out side temp gauge faulty

[willcook1275gt]

so i scrape all the ice off my windows early this morning then jump in the motor only to see the temp reading 2 oC then rise to 4 oC a few mins later it was -2 oC ON my phone
anyone got any ideas on what's the possible cause?
thanks

I think I saw a thread a month or two back, about how to adjust it, can't remember any keywords to search for it though

I was tempted to try to search for it myself, but I decided it could be difficult to find, so I didn't even give it a try .... well done

If yours is a faclift it csn be changed from the steering wheel control where you set your ave mileage.
That's how you do it on the 8th gen.
From memory you can change it + or - 3 c
I will get the info up tonight from the manual
