My Astravan is today displaying an outside air temperature of 70 degrees centigrade on the radio/info screen thing rofl
How do I fix this?

It is the previous generation type Astra.

Cheers in advance.

I presume you mean an Astra G denoted by your chassis being TGF as the 5-7th characters in from the beginning

The temp air sensor is located just under the front bumper and due to this positon they go wrong frequently. If this is the first time yours has, you have done well.

Get a new one fitted, shouldn't cost the earth.

I found the sensor at the front of the bumper, hanging loose. Gave it a clean and reattached it to what looks like the mount and it seems to be working (for now!)

Cheers to all smile
