GrandlandX Overheating Active Air Flap

Alright GrandlandX gurus, I'm in a bit of a pickle. My 2022 Vauxhall GrandlandX Hybrid is throwing a fit. The check engine light is on, and the engine seems to be overheating. It's got 174471 km on the clock. I'm suspecting it's the active air flap, but I'm no mechanic. Has anyone else experienced this gremlin? Any ideas before I throw money at it?

Summary of the thread

A 2022 Vauxhall GrandlandX Hybrid is experiencing overheating issues and a check engine light, suspected to be caused by a malfunctioning active air flap. A diagnostic scan confirmed a defect in the active air flap's electromechanism. The suggested solution is to conduct a proper diagnostic check and consider professional repair, as the issue can be complex and costly to fix independently.

Sounds familiar! I had a similar issue with my GrandlandX – not sure what year it is exactly. Is it throwing any fault codes related to the cooling system or the active air flap? A diagnostic scan should pinpoint it. Could be a defective electromechanism.

Thanks! I did a quick scan, and it points to a problem with the active air flap. Electromechanism defective...that sounds expensive! Was that the eventual problem with yours?

Yep, that was exactly it. Active air flap electromechanism went kaput. I tried a few things, but honestly, it's a fiddly job. Ended up taking it to the shop. Bit the bullet and got it sorted. I'd recommend getting a proper diagnostic check and then consider your options. Could save you a headache.

Appreciate the confirmation. Looks like a trip to the workshop is inevitable. Diagnosis, repair, and a hefty 590€ bill later, the GrandlandX is back in action. Thanks for sharing your experience!
