CRV temperature gauge check engine light

Hi, I've got a 2007 Honda CR-V, diesel engine, with a weird problem. The temperature gauge seems off, sometimes the check engine light pops on, and it takes ages for the engine to warm up. It has 236303 km on the clock. Could it be a fuse?

Summary of the thread

A 2007 Honda CR-V with a diesel engine exhibited issues with the temperature gauge, check engine light, and slow engine warm-up. The problem was suspected to be related to a restricted cooling grille or a defective fuse. After taking the vehicle to a workshop, it was confirmed that both the cooling grille and a fuse were causing the issues, and they were promptly fixed.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Sounds familiar! I had similar symptoms in my CR-V. Is the cooling grille perhaps restricted? It's like trying to run a marathon with a plastic bag over your face – the engine can't breathe properly, and the temperature readings go haywire.

Restricted grille, you say? How would I even check that? And if it is, what’s the fix?

Yes, the grille! I am not sure about how to fix it by yourself. I would recommend going to the workshop; they'll sort it out quickly and could also check the fuse while they're at it. Better safe than sorry, especially with thermal management.

Thanks a bunch! Took it to the workshop as you suggested. Turns out the cooling grille was indeed the culprit, and a fuse was defective. 52€ later, all is fixed!
