Seat Alhambra climate control issues

My Seat Alhambra from 2020 with a Diesel engine has thrown a wobbly. It has 169234 km on the clock. The outside temperature sensor is storing an error. The air conditioning refuses to kick in, the spray nozzles freeze when it's cold, and the mirror heating is dead too. All signs point to this temperature monitoring issue. I suspect it's the cable or plug connection that's gone bad. Reckon 95€ will sort it?

I have a Seat Alhambra too, although I'm not sure about the year. I had somewhat similar problems a while back. Frozen spray nozzles are no fun. Did you check the wiring harness leading to the vehicle temperature sensor itself? Perhaps a loose connection?

When you say wiring harness, are you referring to the connector on the sensor itself, or further along the loom? Any specific areas that are prone to damage?

Yes, I meant the connector and the immediate wiring going to the outside temperature sensor. That was where my issue was. Are you planning to go to a workshop?

It was indeed the outside temperature sensor cable. Replaced the faulty section and all is working again. Thanks for the confirmation, saved me a lot of time!
