Ducato Exhaust Flap Error

I've got a 2016 Fiat Ducato with a gasoline engine and about 30k km on the clock. Recently, the exhaust is louder than usual, especially after a cold start – sounds a bit like a noisy engine running at first. I had the error memory read, and it shows an error related to the exhaust flaps. Could this be the problem?

A 2016 Fiat Ducato owner reported a louder exhaust noise, especially after a cold start, and an error code related to the exhaust flaps. The issue was identified as a defective exhaust flap motor, which was confirmed by a workshop diagnosis. The problem was resolved with a repair costing approximately 190€.

I experienced something similar with my Ducato. A louder exhaust and error codes definitely point towards the exhaust flaps. Are you noticing any change in engine performance, or just the noise?

No noticeable change in performance, just the noise, and the error code. Any idea what exactly might be wrong with the exhaust flaps?

Given that there is no performance change, and considering that the error memory stores a corresponding error, the issue almost certainly resides within the exhaust flap mechanism itself - most likely a defective exhaust flap motor. I advise consulting a reputable workshop for diagnostics and repair, given the complexity of modern exhaust systems.

I took it to a workshop, and you were spot on – it was indeed a defective exhaust flap. The repair cost me around 190€. Appreciate the help!
