Vauxhall Vectra Temperature Sensor Issues
Summary of the thread
A 2004 Vauxhall Vectra diesel is experiencing issues related to the outside temperature sensor, causing problems with the air conditioning, windscreen washer jets, and heated mirrors. The error memory confirms a sensor fault, and while the sensor and wiring appear superficially fine, a faulty connection is suspected. A similar case was resolved by a workshop identifying a faulty connection, suggesting that professional diagnostics may be necessary to efficiently address the issue.

Thanks for the quick response! When you say 'similar issue', do you mean all the same symptoms? Did you also get the cascade of problems with the AC, washer jets and heated mirrors? And if so, did you manage to fix it yourself, or did you end up taking it to a workshop?

Yes, all the same symptoms. The sensor malfunction caused all those issues. In the end, I bit the bullet and took it to a workshop. They were able to diagnose a faulty connection pretty quickly.

OK, thanks for the confirmation! I think I'll check the connections one last time, and then I'll take it to a workshop. It seems like chasing this down myself would be a waste of time without the proper diagnostic equipment. The repair ended up costing me 95€, for anyone else who has the same problem down the line.

I had a similar issue with my Vectra. Same symptoms. I'd suspect the sensor connection, but be prepared for more investigation.
