Sunny in Kent today, got my shorts and t shirts out and headed off to the beach.

Went to my local westerham seat garage and they charged me £23 for a new sensor. Looking on here before they seemed to be only £10!!!

 

[flashbsd]

I think mine said -5.5 this morning!

 

[Undezcupra]

is the sensor in the wing mirror??

 

[davidol]

did they say they are in stock at seat? Cardiff seat have been pissing me about with mine, i ordered it before christmas and they say its on back order, im believing them at the moment as all the other items ive ordered from them have been spot on when they said they'd arrive, customer service is excellent there i'd like to point out though! Ross is the guy to speak too!

 

[Forbez]

Yes mate the sensor is in the passenger wing mirror.

Dave, im sure there's one on ebay at the mo!

 

[jonesya3]

there's none on ebay at the minute but there has been, his ebay id was kessweb and he sold afew for £15 plus £1 p&p just keep checking his items for sale he might get some more.

 

[ibizachill]

they definitly aint on back order mate...i ordered one last week and it arrived next day so i presume they must be p*issin u about!

It was -40 here in Cheshire last week, being in my freezing car made it feel a lot warmer when I got out though.

I can't really be arsed paying £25 for a new one, knowing the temperature isn't worth that much to me

 

[Russ_20vt]

Yes it was in stock and i got it there and then i was very surprised. The fact mine is over reading in the high temps means my climate control only gives full heat out on the HI setting. As it think the air outside is hot so it gives me the same "hot" air inside on any of the degree temps. lol

TBC, surely your air con isnt working then with it reading in the minus the whole time?

Sorry to Hi-kack.

But My sensor is also playing up.
Can you post the part number please.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

I'd like to know too. I asked one of the places that are on the forum and was told it's comes complete with wing mirror! £130. hah.

 

[jonesya3]

[Russ_20vt]

Thanks.

Yea cost me about that when I bought mine last year, very easy to fit though so if your having trouble its worth just fixing it

 

[TBCupraT]

Do you mind telling me how to fit it. I had a look today but had difficulty removing the wing mirror cover.

 

[SeanyK]

From what I remember, you need a allen/star key set to remove 2 screws holding the wing mirror cover in place.

It then lifts off.

Then its just a case of taking the old sensor out, cutting the wires, attaching new one to old wires, solder, then refit

 

[TBCupraT]

How strange I could only find one star shaped screw and a plug covering a flappy piece of metal.

I gave up as I undid the single star screw and could not get the casing to budge.

Well no but it does come on when I press the AC button anyway, I never use it in winter anyway

 

[Russ_20vt]

I just changed mine, i had one torx screw to undo and the the lower casing just priezed away, was a really simple job and now my climate controll is working again!
