On my 2003 signum the outside air temperature is registering about 10% higher than it actually is.
Can someone tell me where the sensor is located so i can replace it.
I have looked through the haynes workshop manual but can't find it.

Its behind the front bumper, clipped on. How can you tell 10%? is it worth it as I doubt a new one would be much closer than 10%. What are you measuring it against?
I think they are only an indication.
I agree. Don't think they are spot on as this morning at 7 when i got in the car it said it was -2.5 degrees. I'd only moved about half a mile and it siad it was now -5 degrees.
If you are looking for it, it's clipped in to the rear of the lower front bumper grille, normally on the left (passenger side).
Snowman, you got your ears on?
Mine went from -2 to -4.5 this morning.
I made a mistake its not 10% but 10 degrees.
yesterday it said 11 degrees at 10 am and it was actually 1 degree.
I know they can't be that acurate but mine is way out
many thanks all
The wifes Vectra B is showing 17c I think it must be knackered too. Any idea if they can be repaired or anything. I have removed it and given it a clean but to no avail.
Sensors don't do wind chill factor, in fact any object doesn't suffer from it. Wind chill effect is because people feel it due to sweat evaporation from the skin taking latent heat from your body.
The sensor can be seen by opening bonnet and looking in the gap between the radiator and the front grill area, in the void clipped to the cross member, about on centre.
