Hi Guys,

I just noticed, driving down Hollywood Blvd last night, that the outside temperature, as reported by the lcd in the dash of my 87 300SDL, climbs up when I am idling at rest.When I get rolling again, it comes back down. Is this normal? I never noticed it before, but it's been kinda hot here and I've only had the car for a month or so. I have noticed that it reports hot when it's sitting in the sun too, without the engine on. I thought I'd ask before I started trying to monkey around with new sensors from RadioShack or the 60 dollar item from the mercedes parts guys. Kinda trivial I know...

I'd also like to say hi to everyone, I've been lurking for 3 or 4 months now, soaking up the good cheer. This forum is an awesome resource, and was a great help in me buying my new (old) car, and getting me going with maintenance.

Cheers


Andrew
