    Default this is weird...

    the temp out here is always at around 30 celcius..

    for some odd reason... the temp gauge in the obc showed that
    the temp is 4.5 celcius...

    what the heck happened?

    thanks!

    probably water in the temp sensors connections.

    Mmm, check the little sensor, see what it's up to. It's on the left side of the front spoiler, kinda to the side of the foglamps, if I remember correctly, just feel around for it.

    Ok... so just to confirm.. what you are saying is when you turn on your headlists.. the temp drops?
    If it cannot be fixed by the dremel or ducktape.. get out the sledge...

    Sounds like a ground connection problem. If I'm not mistaken, this sensor shares a ground connection point with the headlights. Check for ground at the sensor before switching on the lights and after. There should be no difference, if there is check the ground connection at the chassis behind the left headlights. It's the only thing that comes to mind right now or the sensor could be shot.
