While it certainly sounds from all the other info you have you have a solid case, I wouldn't put a lot of hope in the ambient temp difference. If it's the same sensor used to display it on the dash, it's pretty well guaranteed not to match what the official temperature is. Those are read in two completely different ways, and environmental conditions where the car is located can cause wide swings from "recorded official temperature".
