Driving around Adelaide this afternoon and outside temp was 45.0degC according to the bureau of meteorology.
Anyway according to my car the "official" VW temperature was 48.0degC ... and here's the proof:
Either way it was stinking hot.

The temperature of the air above a bitumen road is often hotter than the ambient... I'd definitely believe 48.Originally Posted by tigger73
My car gets babied; I avoid taking it out of the garage if the temperature's above about 32, if I can at all help it!

Yes. Very perceptiveAutoPolar FIS+ Advanced by any chance??!!!
If you've got a full-height MFD (red, white or colour) as in most late model VAG vehicles (except Polo and Transporter), then you can get all sorts of data displayed. 4 or 6 lines of data per page depending on white/red display and you can configure up to 16 pages.
Here's the link to the FIS+ Advanced Complete Guide.
