Anything but exactly

Installation was very easy on my 2002 BMW 325i that was missing the sensor and sensor socket. However, it never showed the correct temperature. It constantly reads about 45 degrees Fahrenheit. This is after several recalibration attempts, a hard reset of the ECU, soldering/re-soldering of the connectors and 3 months of use.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons

Easy fix for display and AC

An important detail for my 1997 BMW, this one comes with a socket that is usually missing along with the probe. I still had the socket, but it was so damaged by the environment under the car that I had to replace it anyway. The temperature reading -40 did not change immediately after replacing the probe - but wait a minute! It started to rise slowly, 1 degree at a time as I drove and only reached the right temperature after about 25 minutes. Best of all, this not only fixed the outside…

I have a 2004 E46 and the air temp sensor was damaged when it detached from the driver's lower front fender and started scratching the wheel. If you damage this sensor, there are two main consequences: 1. A temperature change from -40 to 122 degrees (-40 to 50 degrees Celsius)2 is displayed on the instrument panel. If your reading is -40 degrees your air conditioning will stop working because the car "feels" that you don't need the air conditioning anyway because it's so cold outside. This is a

All thanks to a great tutorial video on youtube

This ambient air temperature sensor kit worked great. Installation took 15 minutes. All thanks to a great tutorial video on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrgeWWZ4dnk I watched the video, made sure I have the supplies and the installation was a breeze. The BMW Service Center charged $345 for the same work. But I replaced the piece of plastic behind my bumper where the previous sensor was attached. But the video shows how to attach it to the back of the bumper with a cable tie. The…

Dorman 902-020, remember!

Back in October 2012 I broke the ambient temperature sensor on my '00 528i while driving on a patch of tire on the freeway on my way to work and although I didn't know what happened to this one Morning I found out it was on the way home the same day when the heat really set in and my air con wasn't working. Needless to say I was skeptical about purchasing this item, as with most things I think you really just need to stop thinking about things and decide what you want to do. After reading…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
