Peugeot 207 Overheating Air Flap

Hi, I have a 2006 Peugeot 207, gasoline engine, 73520 km. The check engine light is on and the engine overheats. I suspect a defective active air flap. Anyone had this?

Could be. Is the grille shutter stuck open or closed? Any fault codes?

I don't know the exact position of the shutter, but I'll check. Is the defective electromechanism the most likely cause?

Yeah, that's common. It messes with thermal management. If it's overheating, better get it checked before it causes more damage.

Thanks. It was indeed the air flap electromechanism, fault code confirmed. Repair cost 590€.
