Espace temperature display check engine light

Hi, my 2008 Renault Espace (diesel) is playing up. The display sometimes shows the wrong temp, the check engine light is on, and it takes ages to warm up. I've noticed the cooling grille seems restricted. Any ideas? Mileage is 104993 km.

A 2008 Renault Espace is experiencing issues with incorrect temperature display, a check engine light, and slow warming up. The problem is suspected to be related to a faulty sensor, thermostat, or active grille shutters. It is suggested to check the fuse for the grille shutters, which turns out to be the cause. Replacing the fuse resolves the issue.

Could be a faulty sensor, or thermostat issue. Does your Espace have active grille shutters? If so, maybe the fuse is gone and they're stuck closed. Check the fuse box first, easy and cheap!

Good shout! Where would I find the fuse for the radiator grille shutters? I've checked the manual, but it's not very clear.

I'm not 100% sure on your specific model, but if it's not in the manual, it might be best to get it checked by a workshop. They should be able to diagnose it quickly.

Thanks for the advice! It was indeed the fuse for the active grille shutters. Cost me 52€ to replace. All sorted!
