External air temperature sensor

[Will]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows the part number for the external air temperature sensor located on the underside of the passenger side mirror? As mine appears to be faulty (it was reading 40 degrees C in the shade yesterday :rollseyes. Also if anyone knows how easy/hard it is to change could they let me know please?

Thanks,

Will.

Don't have the part number at hand but it comes complete with solder connectors. So it is: remove the mirror glass, remove the mirror cover, cut the wires, solder back together with a lighter and put it all back together. It isn't that hard ant takes maybe 15-20 minutes.

Thanks everyone, how does the glass remove? Is it a case of tilting it back as much as possible and removing retaining screws behind it, or something else such as just un-clipping it?

Swapped over, 5 minute job and now reading correct. Pity as I was quite getting used to 35 degrees. Could almost dream of summer [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

There should be tons available on eBay from regular clios.
Good luck
