Galaxy exhaust flap issue

Experiencing an issue with the exhaust flaps on my 2022 Ford Galaxy hybrid (118k kilometers). Error stored, exhaust noise louder, and noisy engine after cold start. Suspect a defective exhaust flap. Anyone else experienced this, and what was your approach to fixing it?

Summary of the thread

A 2022 Ford Galaxy hybrid with 118,000 kilometers experienced issues with the exhaust flaps, leading to louder exhaust noise and a noisy engine after a cold start. The problem was suspected to be a defective exhaust flap, which also caused increased fuel consumption and sluggish engine performance at lower RPMs. The issue was confirmed by a workshop, and after replacing the defective exhaust flap, the vehicle returned to smooth and quiet operation.

Loud exhaust and error codes on a hybrid Galaxy? Sounds like your exhaust flaps are causing trouble. Are you noticing any change in engine performance besides the noise? Has fuel consumption been affected?

Engine performance feels a bit sluggish at lower RPMs, and fuel consumption seems to have increased slightly, maybe 5-10%. Does this further point to the exhaust flaps?

Increased fuel consumption and sluggishness definitely add weight to the exhaust flap theory! I would highly recommend getting it checked out by a workshop; they'll be able to confirm the issue and give you a proper fix.

Took it to a workshop, and the exhaust flap was indeed defective. The repair, including parts and labor, came to around 190€. Now it runs perfectly, smooth and quiet!
