Parts and consumables:

• Temperature sensor Skoda Octavia

Note:

The outside temperature sensor of the Skoda Octavia, although located in the front of the car behind the radiator grille in a place protected from solar radiation and ventilated, is affected by factors such as warm air from the engine and radiation from heated asphalt. Therefore, his readings can sometimes be somewhat overestimated, especially after a long idle time in traffic jams. The outside temperature can be considered correct when driving at a speed of at least 40 km/h for at least 10 minutes.

1. Disconnect the wire from the "minus" terminal of the battery, as described here .
