I was driving my W124 E320 cabrio last week in good weather when I suddenly noticed the reading on the dash outside temp gauge was more or less exactly 10 degrees too light ie +4 instead of 14.
local dealership changed the sensor but it made no difference ( exxcept to my wallet). They said it must be the gauge end. But they didn't have time ( and I didn't really have the inclination) for them to dismantle the dash.
Has anyone had this or related problems before? Is it a replace or repair job. I notice that an earlier post said they'd had moisture there which gave a faulty reading but weather here (SW France) is and has been very dry.
Any thoughts welcome.
