Sorry if this has been covered before but I can't find it.

The temperature on my obc keeps going freakin' mental, jumping from + temps to - 30 constantly. Rest of obc readouts are peachy.

I don't really care about the temperature but the bonging is drivng me rasher! How do I put a stop to this?

Much appreciated.

New sensor.

Under the passenger side foglight somewhere IIRC.

If your car is a facelift model the sensor pokes into the the top of the passenger side brake duct. Check the wiring just before the sensor, it's fairly exposed and fragile at that point - your problem may be there and not the actual sensor.

Nice one Gents.

Makes sense as a rock smacked and cracked the foglight at the weekend. Likely damaged the sensor or wiring as well.
