Someone posted it here before i believe it's in the front tire well on the drivers side. I'm not sure if you need to take the tire off to get at it,i've never messed with it b4. Someone correct me if i'm wrong. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active

Easiest to get to from underneath, take out 3 8mm bolts and drop the plastic pan. The sensor is in the middle of the brake duct. I had my temp sensor disconnected for a while, and it also read -40 all the time. __________________

I think mine got ripped off too so don't feel bad. I noticed it hanging under my car, and before I got a chance to deal with it, it disapeared. Now I too have to experience that harsh -40 degree weather. | | | | |
