IS350 105K service plus Outside temp reading now low

[bazzle]

For those interested I just paid $456 for 105k service (97K on vehicle, (dictated by time, IS350 F Sport 12/2011)

Cost quoted $600 inc filters etc.

Paid $456. as I supplied the oil (this time around Nulon synthetic)

Drive there outside temp shown increasing from 31 to 34c.

Drive home outside temp shown as 28c. Didn't move from workshop to home...  AT least 38c at the time, hotter now.

Question is can they disturb to outside temp sensor during a service?

I couldn't find where it is 😞  Will call if it can be compromised.

Thanks Baz

no the ouside temp sensor is just a reader located on your front reo bar they can not touch or recalibrate it with out going through some big effort

It’s nothing, if your car is sitting in the sun and gets hot it just warms up

@Pcavzzz....Really, car warms up in the sun, thanks for the help 😣

If you read my post you would of seen that the temp sensor reading was stuck at a lower reading.

Fixed now. Removed and refitted fixed it.
