Outside Temperature Gauge

[riftime]

Hi all,

Had a few very hot days in Melbourne last week, took the Presara out of the garage, temperature shown as 24C (probably garage temperature). Outside however, full sun, it was something like 41C. It took about 20min for the car to start showing an increase from the 24C display, and about 3 hours of driving around in that heat with a black car before it climbed to 41C.

Is it normal to take that long, does anyone else have the same problem? My previous car (Holden Calais) was fairly quick in showing the temperature changes, and that's 11 years older!

Thanks.

no problems here.. perhaps it's the black colour that is absorbing all the heat?

No problem with mine. It's very accurate.
