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€.

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