External temperature sensor Audi A3

It may not be working but I guarantee the sensor is there. It lives in the lower front bumper / spoiler panel with the fog-lights. The MFD (if fitted) or the normal dash-board display beeps and flashes when the outside temp falls below 2 deg C.
It would worry me if someone has gone to the trouble of disabling all of this hard-ware and software functionality. What else have they done?

Mmmm...right beside the odometer is it?
Maybe you need to cycle or scroll through the various displays for the trip computer using the button on the end of the wash/wipe stalk (R/H side). This displays current fuel consumption, cumulative fuel consumption, ambient temp, trip mileage, remaining fuel distance, etc, etc.
Maybe RTFM applies here?

Ooops sorry, an ultra low-budget Irish car then? I find that hard to understand as even the Skodas have this stuff fitted from '04 on I think.
The only easy retrofit is the cruise-control AFAIK, but even that requires reprogramming the ECU to get it working.

Yeah, I was surpised as my 05 Golf has the on-board computer. The A3 only has little stick things beside the odometer which you can press to display the kms to next service etc. As the car has a/c I was convinced that it would display at least the outside temp.
Looks like a case of an "Irish spec" car as you say.
