Seat Cordoba Temperature Sensor Issue

Hello, I have a Seat Cordoba from 2006 with a gasoline engine and about 198564 km on it. I am getting an error related to the outside temperature sensor. The air conditioning doesn't switch on, the spray nozzles freeze at cold temperatures and the mirror heating is not working. The error memory suggests a defective cable or plug connection. I am wondering if it's worth trying to fix it myself or if I should just go to a workshop. I am worried about the sensor diagnostics and the temperature sensor replacement. Any input on car temperature sensor location and sensor replacement is appreciated.

Sounds like a pain. I had a similar issue with my old Renault Megane, but it was the interior temperature sensor. A/C was acting up too. Are you sure it's the outside one? Maybe check the fuse first?

Fuses I checked already. I am not sure it's the outside one to be honest, but the error memory says it is. Where exactly was the sensor located in your Renault? And how did you figure out it was the sensor?

Well, in my case, the garage ran some diagnostics. They pinpointed the interior sensor. I'm no expert, but if the error message says outside temperature sensor, it probably is. Could be a loose connection, but honestly, tracing that can be a nightmare. If you’re unsure, maybe just get a quote from a workshop? At least you'll know for sure.

Alright, so I took it to a workshop. You were right. The outside temperature sensor was faulty. They replaced it, and now everything's working fine. Cost me 95€, but at least the AC is back on and the mirror heating works. Thanks for your input.
