Outside temp display not functioning.
00 Vert A4 - Outside Temperature display does not function correctly. It show a temperature some 15 degrees below what is actual. I checked manual and located sensor underneath front end near radiator, cleaned it and still have same problem. Any ideas? If not where can I get a new sensor?

They're stocked at the chevy dealer too. Also check carefully the connector just up the wiring, it is exposed to a lot of water and dirt and the contacts in the connector can corrode and cause issues.

Your dealer can get you one - it is a relatively inexpensive part.

65GGVert is right. You most likely have a connection problem. That scoop area gets the nastiest exposure of all I would take it off and look closely for any green or powder like substance (corrosion on the terminals a/o plug)
hey, if it is bad you can get one off a caddy in a pick your part you just have make sure the plug is the same and it is the exact same shape and it will work.
