Unbelievably that sensor if not working can give you high emissions and wreck your dpf I found out the expensive way. Great video. Tell as many Peugeot/Fiat/Citreon owners as you can to save them heartache and money.
You’re right in that it’s unbelievable. The outside temperature sensor has no bearing on the exhaust system. The dpf has its own temperature sensor and only regenerates when it reaches the required temp. The dpf will regenerate regardless of the outside temperature.
I wasn’t aware it did. I’ve done a couple of these in the past on late ones and not had EML light come up. The older models apparently it’s associated with the dpf and effects the regeneration but again I find it a little hard to believe that a outside temperature is in anyway relevant to initiating a regeneration, after all it’s the exhaust temperature that critical to a regeneration not the ambient temperature.
@@porscheminormechanicsrando8394 mines a 2010, it’s not looking like it has one in the mirror there’s no hole and no temperature on dash. I got worried (I was going to stock one) and called a friend who said apparently older ones don’t have it. But he’s a Nissan man so he could be wrong.
If you don’t have a outside temperature display on the dash then it is indeed a good chance you don’t have one. I don’t understand why you associate it with the EML. cheers

Excellent really clear video. My sensor reads 80 degrees or sometimes nothing. I have just ordered a sensor off eBay.
Glad it helped
Much better than hacking the panels under the mirror hinge. I will be using this method… thanks for this.
You're welcome!
Thank you!
I can’t believe this sensor can make the EML come on too

Neither can I. 😂
£10 off EBAY and an hour to change it, just dome mine. Drivers side mirror
Do you have a link as I cant find one. Thanks
Just changed mine, still not working, well it works but gives wrong temp 😞
Must be a faulty sensor.
