First week-end after the grill block described on first message, we made a 2x200km highway trip with temperature around 15°C (59°F) one way and 10°C (50°F) other way. The temperature needle didn't raised over the normal "hot" position

After a few days, the morning temperatures dropped from 10 to 5°C (50 to 41°F) and I felt the hit on the FE. I decided to close the lower front grill even more (everything except toward the turbo) and block the upper grill (see 1st picture in next message).

I can remark that the temperature needle begins to raise later, but is at the "hot" position sooner. May be because there is less air circulation under the hood.
