Mokka Overheating Air Flap Issue

My 2019 Vauxhall Mokka diesel is overheating, and the check engine light is on. It's done 208632 km. Fault codes point to the active air flap electromechanism. Has anyone had similar thermal management or cooling system issues?

I had a similar problem with my 2017 Peugeot 308: check engine light and overheating. It was the flap motor. Did you check the wiring to the flap motor? Sometimes it's just a loose connection.

Thanks, I checked the wiring, but nothing obvious. Was the repair straightforward on your Peugeot, or did it require special tools? Do you remember the specific fault code?

I didn't do the repair myself. A workshop confirmed it was the flap motor electromechanism. Cost about 590€. Might be worth getting it checked professionally.

Thanks, I'll book it in with a local mechanic. Replacing the flap motor sounds like the way to go, especially with the overheating. Hopefully, that'll sort it.
