Seat Inca temperature display and engine issue

I have a 2002 Seat Inca with a diesel engine and about 128842 km on the clock. The temperature display is acting up, the check engine light is on, and it takes ages for the engine to reach normal temperature. Could this be a radiator blockage issue or something else related to engine cooling? I've read somewhere it could be related to a defective fuse, is this correct?

That sounds familiar! I had a similar problem with my Inca, though I can't remember the exact kilometer reading. Is your engine taking forever to warm up too? It might be radiator blockage or something affecting the thermal management system. Check the cooling grille for obstructions.

Cooling grille obstructions, you say? Where exactly should I be looking? And what kind of obstructions are we talking about?

The cooling grille is at the front, behind the bumper. Check for leaves, debris, anything that's blocking the airflow. If that's clear, it's probably best to take it to a workshop. They can check the entire thermal management system.

It was a defective fuse, like you said. Cost 52€ to resolve. Thanks for the help!
