Coldest Your Clio has Been

[u33db]

Mmmm...lovely cold weather...not!

Fired up the valver this morning to get a reading of -3 degrees and find that my main gauges acting up (petrol not working, water, rev and speedo sluggish). Surely the coldest its been in ages (must have been bad during the night tho)...anyone had worse so far??

 

[CocoPops]

I had -6 on the temp guage when I went to it this morning!!!!

[CHRIS172CUP]

-3 this morning but had -7 in the past.

 

[Turkish]

Think the lowest my old 172 saw was -8, the lowest ive seen in the 182 is -3 so far.

 

[David]

mines broke so it read -99 one day...think it was during the summer too!

 

[miketheman2k]

Sounds like a typical British summer to me

 

[Karen]

Ive only seen a -1 but as soon as the car warmed up it went up to 2 even though it was icy out.

How accurate are they?

 

[Gareth]

mine was -2 this morning, lowest i have ever seen

 

[fizzy_drink]

Ive seen -7 on my ol 1.2 about 8 years ago, which is still alive today...

PS Where is the sensor? Is it on the wing mirror?

 

[DAVE_RSi]

not sure on temp but its only the 2nd time ive had to de-ice the windscreen

just used some tap water 2day, sorted it out in no time

must have been a damn cold night though

 

[Andyvalver]

Yeh i think its on the bottom of the wing mirror.

ive saw -8 last year, that was the coldest i can remember.

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

I see a flashing -30 on mine at the mo.

That might be cos theres no thermometer there at the minute though!

 

[gunnergibson]

-3

 

[Le_Smithier]

My temp guage is f**ked its never read higher than 0 degress, lol

 

[TheCake]

-4 this morning... think its a new record.

 

[Danny P]

Pulled the missus car out of the garrage this morning it went from 8 to -1 straight away.

 

[rcp]

[derv]

[Falk]

Interesting topic...

Lucky you are not in Sweden.
Last year in January I saw -36°C on my mates Megane.

Thats cool.

 

[Dink]

lol well got im mine yesterday and it was at a low 49°c that quickly went up to a modest 59°c

 

[derv]

ooh thats cold! my dad drives a lorry, one morning it was -15 and the diesel froze in the tank, all he could do was sit there for 4 hours till it thawed out!

 

[markh]

-12 last year up in the snow

 

[neil 172]

-2 this morning, thats coldest ive seen it lol

 

[JayR]

Mines seen 2 degrees!!!

How come youve all seen minuses but i havnt!!!!

 

[andrew_172]

-4 this morning for me.
Even frozen on the INSIDE of my 172.

Ive noticed actually that on occassions it has felt almost damp in the car when it is getting cold. Normal, or an indication of a leak somewhere?

Not noticed in my previous car (Megane Hatch)

is THAT what the little nipple thing is on the bottom of the wing mirror?!

I thought it was a moulding problem with the plastic!

 

[fin_tm]

Mine "best" is with my current clio -28 celsius And Im not joking! Its typical that we have that cold wheather at least couple of times in winter here in Finland.

 

[Turkish]

show off, lol

 

[stuartdj]

just outside aberdeen -14! no joke. dads volvo read -13.5 and mums polo read -14 so i guess it was accurate. was at the end of november.

 

[Little Newms]

Mine was at its lowest it has ever been this morning at -2....

 

[stuartdj]

any more low tempretures? there must be someone in the real highlands of scotland who has had under -20!

 

[16v_dave]

-6 is the lowest ive seen mine

 

[172gal]

Ive had experience when the car has frozen on the inside. Sunday just gone, i got in the car to start her up and the windscreen was covered in ice INSIDE
