P38 Temperature Display

Hi

Just lately the exterior air temperature display has been going haywire
showing anything from -5 to +35. When it displays anything below about
10 the air conditioning will not blow cooled air into the vehicle. I
know that there are a number of temperature sensors controlling the
heating/air conditioning system and I presume the outside air
temperature sensor (behind the front bumper) sends the temperature to
the display, if this sensor is faulty would it prevent the air con from
working and giving a false reading on the display or is it a combination
of all of the sensors?

Any help appreciated

Happened to me - outside temp sensor went, balmy spring day was reported
as -20 deg or something, and aircon (quite reasonably, if you think about
it) refused to work. One new sensor later, all was fine.
