I have a peugeot partner escapade. It doesn't have an external temp
thermometer and I'm thinking to install one.
Where do they usually position the sensor bulb on the car, to measure air
temperature it has to be positioned so that it is shielded from direct
sunlight, have exposure to clean air so to speak, and not be exposed to
engine heat. Any tips or ideas?


A common place is just behind the front bumper in the wheel well protected
by the liner.

Vauxhall's(well astra's) its fitted to the front bumper on the bottom as
far back as it will go facing the ground, it does pick up the heat from
the road
