It's the outside temperature sensor for sure -- the location of it my vary depending on whether or not the M-Sport package is installed...

could it be the sensor on the Advanced Air Con that does the auto-recirculation?!

(My money is with the Temp guage though!)

Now why would they put the temp guage right in front of the radiator and so close to the engine?. You would think that in such position it could lead to misleading readings, right?

That's not the radiator, that's the air conditioning condenser.

All I know is that the temperature reading is pretty accurate...
