2001 V70 XC with 140K miles: Outside temperature for example reading 28 degrees when it's 80 outside, causing A/C not to function when climate control set to "Auto". Climate control works fine when Auto turned off and set manually.
Read on other threads that it's usually the outside temp sensors located in the side view mirrors need to be replaced. Took it to my Volvo dealer and they're telling me it's the climate control module's |temp sensor inside" and want $1,600 to replace it. That doesn't make sense to me, has anyone else experienced this? If my climate control module was bad, don't you think I'd have other issues with the climate control? Everything else works except Auto, and I'm pretty sure that's because Auto relies on the external temperature to adjust accordingly.
