If I had to guess, and this is essentially what I'm doing, I'd say that either your Coolant Temperature Sensor or your Cooling Fan relays are showing their age and not operating at 100%. The Software in the DME didn't suddenly start looking for 103°C instead of 96.75°C. Ambient Temp would have nothing to do with the Default Parameters, though it would with normal operating ones (1 component the DME uses).

We're only talking about 6°C here and that could well be within any innacuracies of the Temp Sender or the Gauge or Climate Display. It's not affecting anything. I doubt the MAPs are affected, nothings going to melt, you're not creating appreciably more emissions or suffering any reduced performance. I think you're just obsessing. But, if it bugs you that much, start by cleaning the radiators, replacing the Fan Relays, and changing the Coolant, and see what effect that has on the readings. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
Thanks Jim, Ill probably first replace the relays,... are those the thin tube looking thing with a wire coming out of it directly below the fans?
