01 V70 - Where is the Outside temperature sensor?
 

My temp sensor is a bit off by 2 to 3 degrees so I want to clean it (if possible, or replace it), but I have no idea where it is. On my H3 it's behind the front grill. On this car I don't even know where to start looking.

Anybody know where it is or if you CAN clean it?

It is built into the side veiw mirrors.
I believe the R/S mirror is for the guage the L/S one feed the ECU I believe.

Why does the ECU have or need a temp sensor there? Wouldn't it be in the air intake somewhere?

Im not sure why they did it but I think that is how it is setup.

Is it easy to take apart or not worth it?

RE: 01 V70 - Where is the Outside temperature sensor?
 

IMO not worth it.
To get to the sensor mirror has to come off and so does the door panel.

I have two words for that:

FORGET THAT!

It took me weeks just to get those crappy-ass door panels to stop making noise. I'll have to give my wife the bad news, that her temp. guage is going to have to be a degree or two off permanently lol.

I'll just clean the mirrors and put a good coat of wax on them, like that's going to help the temps at all lol. Oh well. I dont care as much as she does. As long as it's accurate withint 5 degrees I'm happy it even has one.
