Ravinder is having a similar problem, isn't he? Do these cars have a limited slip differential?

watch out for emissivity or false readings from shiny surfaces like brake discs...
if you want to know the real temperature then put a bit of masking tape on the surface and measure that after a few seconds...
The matt finish will give a much truer reading...
Here is a pic of my stainless steel kettle at home....
Freshly boiled and full and look at the temperature range due to reading reflections and not the surface...
