R36 External temperature irregularities

[Swallowtail]

I have this problem also - showing 45 degrees in Melbourne mid Winter????? Took to the dealer and they mentioned the sensor cap was not on correctly. Had been fixed but I am still having the same problem - ciimbs dramatically to 40+ plus when in traffic. This also seems to have a dramatic effect on the climate control as the aircon goes to max in this situation - Does this mean the internal temp is regulated by the outside temp??? Would have thought there was an internal sensor to regulate climate control. I have to take back to my dealer to fix this and a few other probs (ESP failure...... Locking RNS-510). Car only has 10,000km's.

There are sensors inside and outside. If the outside temp is hotter, the car will recirculate more to attempt to keep the interior at the temp you have set.

During last summer's heat wave in Melb., our temp. read-out was saying 47 degrees. This was on the eastern freeway surrounded by traffic with heaps of heat-soak from the road, other cars etc. My point being, it was bloody accurate!!
