Outside temperature indication

[neilc180]

I have just bought a 96 C180 Classic. Can anyone advise me if the Outside temperature indication only works on certain models please.

This was possibly an option, though the display can go down also, I am not sure if this will come up on the original order try it with your complete VIN

the code if fitted is 240

thanks for that, it does not mention it. The hand book is not model specific and so just mentions everything.

Best way to check if it is fitted to your car is to look for the probe which is located behind the front bumper.Shown here;http://www.detali.ru/cat/oem_mb2.as...417717.418&CT=F&cat=45H&SID=54&SGR=106&SGN=09.
It's behind the nearside pullout panel next to the spotlight recess.

I am not ignoring your valid help, I am just having a problem with viewing the thread as it asks for my password but wont accept it. I have gone to the reset page a few times with no effect. Thanks anyway.

No this model does not have the sensor fitted and from the web site suggested above it was not fitted as an option. Thanks for you help and as ever "somebody somewhere will know the answer". Cheers

seems like you ve answered the question to your original post then.

why dont you just buy the bits, and DIY

A good point. The parts breakdown is a sensor assembly and a harness. This I suppose poses a question. Will the factory fitted harness include the air temp cabling and does it just need the sensor assembly. I know this reasoning works for some elements of ford assembly. A quick look this morning showed no connector lurking behind the front valance where the sensor mounts. Anyone have a clue?

guess the only way to know will buy the bits and see where it goes from there,

Not if someone out there already knows the answer. A waste of money if it does not work!
