SpaceTourer Temperature Readings Issue

My 2021 Citroen SpaceTourer diesel is acting up. The dash shows crazy temperature readings, the check engine light is on, and the engine takes forever to warm up. The garage mentioned a 'cooling grille restricted' error. I checked the coolant level, and it seems fine. What else should I look at before the dealer gets involved?

Restricted cooling grille error on a 2021 model seems unlikely. Are you sure it's not a faulty sensor? Are you doing mostly short trips or longer runs? Has the car had any front-end work recently?

Mostly longer trips, especially recently. And no front-end work, just regular servicing. A faulty sensor makes sense... where would I find that? Is there a fuse related to the cooling system?

Longer trips make a physical blockage even less likely. The sensor is usually near the thermostat housing or on the radiator. There's often a fuse for the cooling fan – check your owner's manual. I'd recommend getting it scanned by a proper diagnostic tool. It could be simple, or a sign of a more serious cooling system issue. Best to catch it early.

It was just a fuse! The garage checked it, replaced a defective fuse (cost me 52€), and everything's back to normal. Temperature readings are stable, the engine warms up quickly, and the check engine light is gone. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
