Peugeot 208 cooling grille issue

My 2015 Peugeot 208 diesel with 137k km is acting up. The temp gauge is erratic, the check engine light is on, and it takes forever to warm up. I thought it might be a fuse for the cooling grille, but no luck. Any ideas?

Sounds familiar. Is it struggling to maintain temperature once it eventually warms up, too? Feels like the thermostat is stuck open, right? Check the coolant level. How old is your battery?

Coolant level is fine, battery is fairly new. You reckon it's the same cooling grille thing? What exactly went wrong with yours? Was it a sensor or something?

Yeah, that's the likely culprit, cooling grille. Mine was acting up just like yours. I just took it to a workshop. They sorted it pretty quick.

I appreciate the advice. Looks like a trip to the shop is on the cards. Turns out the fuse for the cooling grille was defective after all, just like I initially suspected, but I couldn't find it. Cost me 52€.
