Hi all,
My van didn't come with the external temp sensor, despite it being a cheap option
Anyway was in the dealers last week and while they had its chassis no on the computer I enquired as to parts, as I've seen replacement sensors on ebay for around 20 quid.
WIS felt all I needed was the sensor, plug, and pins for the plug. All in 20ish quid.
As my chassis no was inserted before the search they feel I don't require any wiring loom upgrade, or it would have shown as required? They think it must be pre wired.
They didn't seem confident on this, but still I thought it worth the punt.
The big problem is they had no idea if, assuming the necessary wiring is there, it would be plug and play or need to go "on star" for coding.
I haven't had the chance to try and fit it yet, and I may have to remove the whole bumper/grille for access, so wondered If anyone has fitted this and will it need coding.
For the record I asked euro commercials how much it'd cost to code if needed, to be told they don't know, and I'd be charged hourly, ...really?
Still however I get it working I'll post a tutorial with prices, as I suspect all non air con vans are missing this.
any info appreciated
cheers
