raymondjiii Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I believe there are two temperature sensors under the front of the V70. One of them (driver's side) clips onto the plastic air grill below the bumper. The one of the passenger side I found just flapping in the wind. I can't find any clip or any broken piece of plastic where the sensor may have been attached to. Any idea where this thing is supposed to be mounted? Thanks!

crazykn Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 It should be mounted like the driver side one. Its hard to describe what its mounted into. BTW, the passenger side sensor is the air temperature measurement for the climate control, the driver side is for the outside temp reading on the dash.

Thanks!The driver's side temp sensor is supposed to go into the hole of the splash guard. But that is a pain, every time you take off the cover, the sensor falls out! So I glued mine to the right side vent next to the fog light - just like on the driver's side.Klaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibim Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I had exactly the same issue with mine ... Just this random air-temp sensor hanging there once the radiator was out. I can't even remember what i did with it. I should check actually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next time I find a V70 in a parking lot I will try to take a look at it if the coast is clear. I did find a "hole" in the black plastic under the bumper - it looks like something was there previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will see the tabs on the sensor that go in there... but sometimes the tab break. So any way you can reconnect it even using thin wire will help. I think you will be amazed how many of these units just hang there and still work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
