Matiz overheating air flap fault

My 2004 Chevrolet Matiz with a gasoline engine is acting up. The check engine light is on, and it's overheating badly. The scanner says there's an active air flap fault. I suspect the electromechanism is bad, but has anyone else seen this?

Overheating is never a good sign! I had a similar check engine light issue on my Matiz. Did your scan show any specific fault codes related to the air intake system?

Yes, the scan pointed to the air intake. I'm getting a persistent fault related to the active air flap. Was yours doing the same? Did it also cause overheating or just the light?

Okay, air flap fault sounds familiar. Mine didn't cause overheating, just the light. But it was the same error. I'd take it to a trusted workshop for a proper diagnostic before messing with it yourself. It could save you a headache!

I feared that. I'll take it to a workshop. Just got a quote for around 590€. Ouch! At least it's getting sorted. Thanks for the advice!
