Yes, it can affect it. Outside air temperature has influence on HVAC calculations that are used for cabin conditioning. KOMBI is also a master module that sends out damped ambient temperature information to CAN and MOST bus, where other modules that require ambient temperature information will get it from. It can have significant influence on internal operating maps of DME/DDE and VDP.
That said, your deviations are not too large, but consistently higher and possibly causing undesirable HVAC behavior. I would take it to dealer or indy for proper diagnosis. ISTA has different service modules for this sensor and faulty temperature reading on cluster. Especially if you are under warranty.
