I saw one of these and wanted one. It came in about 7 days.


First problem was where to fit the exterior sensor that was reasonably nearby and outside but fairly well protected so I opted for under the trans tunnel.



Put the sensor in a zip bag and added some of my favourite kit........Duck tape........... for extra protection.

Poked it through the grommet - stretched it as I didn't want to literally poke a hole in it.

This is how it looks outside.



And inside.

The outside sensor looks like it's sitting within a couple of inches of the (hot!!) exhaust. On VW group cars they mount the outside temperature sensors just behind the front bumper - is there enough cable for you to do that?

I think you are seeing the propshaft. ;) It does look exhaust like though.

Funnily enough the transmission tunnel is really empty.

The exhaust is over the other side.
No, one of the drawbacks is that the lead is fairly short. They say to put it on a sill but I didn't want the wire being flattened by the door rubber 10 times a day. :laugh: :laugh:
