I am pretty sure that the temp sensor on the Corrado is under the hood.
But it is past the weather seal near where the wiper motor is on a
Scirocco.  As far as wind chill, I do not think it is a problem unless the
sensor is wet (?).  I am remembering a junior weather kit that used a wet
piece of wick on a thermometer to measure wind chill...
