Interesting! So, if it's the active air flap electromechanism, is that a straightforward fix, or am I looking at a major cooling system overhaul?

In my case, the electromechanism itself was the problem, not the entire cooling system. However, because of the mileage (186450 km), I would not exclude a defective flap. To prevent further damage, I recommend going to a workshop.

Thanks! I appreciate the advice. I'll get it checked out by a professional. Turns out it was exactly what you said: a defective electromechanism. Cost me 590€ to repair, but at least the overheating is gone now!

I had a similar issue with my Armada. The active air flap electromechanism is likely defective. The system controls thermal management, including the grille shutter within the cooling system.
