Yeah, I gave the connector a quick look, but I didn't examine it closely. Where exactly is the temp sensor located on your 207? Maybe I missed something obvious. I want to make sure I am checking the correct part.

It's usually located near the front bumper, often behind the grille. But honestly, chasing intermittent electrical gremlins can be a pain. Given the symptoms and mileage, you might be better off getting a workshop to check the wiring and the sensor with proper diagnostic tools. Could save you a lot of time and frustration.

Thanks for the advice. I think you're right, I'll take it to a workshop. The error code and the likely cause are known: cable or plug connection of the component defective. The estimated cost is 95€. Seems like the best approach.

Sounds familiar. I've got a 207 too and had similar symptoms a while back. The ambient temp sensor can cause all sorts of weirdness with the climate control and other systems. Have you checked the connector itself for corrosion or damage? It's a common weak point.
