External temp sensor location
[sm=badbadbad.gif]Hi all,
I did a search for this but was only able to find results for the X-type. My 01 3.0 S-type keeps registering an external temp of 127 degrees F. sometimes if it sits for a while it'll read 125. I'm assuming its the external temp sensor but I have no idea where its located.
I'm wondering if its loose and maybe dangling in the engine compartment hence registering such high temps and slightly lower when the car sits for a bit.
On the X-type its located near the front tow hook but I couldn't find it on the S. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Alex

My car had the same fault, high external readings, seems it's a common fault.
Hope this helps.
