Outside temperature reading, gone doolally.

[Bricktop X PWR]

You could try disconnecting and reconnecting the 12v system (and resetting your wheel and windows afterwards).

As per #1, It is on my list of to do.

Oops, sorry; missed that!

So basically bolloX.

I've done a battery disconnect (5 minutes)

No joy.

Factory reset.

No change. Still sitting here at 34ºC!

Now I can't get any heat unless it's on HI

32 Blows Cold!!!

Pretty miserable to be honest.
Knowing what a PITA these cars can be, reading the forums everyday, (apart from the vibes) I thought I had got away with it.

The only good thing is that my rear nearside window that has never worked, now works.

I've now got to put myself into the hands of the dealer network, and I really didn't want to do that

Edit: Might try a 24 hour disconnect?

Oh, buggeration.

Are the front flaps working as normal, they are temperature related and if they are staying open could suggest that the temperature sensor "thinks " its warmer than it is. MG have not put on a temperature sensor just to give a reading on the screen? There might be several sensors one of which doubles up to give screen reading. Or you have stated you love tinkering, possibly accidently loosened a connector/plug?

No m8, they seem to be opening and closing as normal.
I've not done anything around the front of the car so unlikely to be that.
Just wondering if a longer disconnect might help.

Probably just a sensor gone tits up I reckon.

Dissapointing, but not totally unexpected.

Can you send a bit of that doolallyness here please?

When others have had problems that have been resolved by a battery disconnect, I believe they've had to leave the battery disconnected for at least 20 minutes to ensure 12volt system fully drains (assuming there are some capacitors that will need to drain?)

The problem does appear to be getting worse, so wondering if the sensor is breaking down, or whether it is a loose connection, or has some water ingress within the wiring? Anyone know where the exterior temperature sensor is located?

I do ??
I am going to disconnect over night and see what happens......

As it's an electric car, it's probably on fire

Have you checked for nesting swifts?

I didn't realise this was a potential issue, that would explain all the bird guano

Top right corner of the front grill.

I don't see why not!

It's bloody hot enough!!!!?


Booked in 08:30 4th March

Better than I was expecting tbh.

What impact does this have on the car, I take it the heating/cooling doesn't function correctly now ?

 

[Bricktop X PWR]

Correct.
Hi Is as hot as it will go.
32 Is ice cold.

Nothing in between.

I am now the climate control.

Very annoying.

I reckon a sensor has gone on holiday and isn't coming back.

Dealer said I was due some updates so we will just have to wait and see.

EDIT Moved the Temp Settings to the Right Shortcut Button to make adjustments much easier.

........Dealer said I was due some updates so we will just have to wait and see.

Hopefully a quick fix ?

It will be interesting to hear what the updates are ?
