Peugeot 307 Exhaust Flap Issue

I'm having trouble with my 2006 Peugeot 307 gasoline. The exhaust flaps seem to be malfunctioning. There's an error stored, and the exhaust is louder than usual. The engine sounds noisy on cold starts. It has 138727 km on it. Could it be a defective exhaust flap?

I had something similar with my Peugeot 307. Louder exhaust, especially when the engine was cold. I suspect it's the flap actuator. Check the wiring, but it's probably the actuator itself.

Thanks for the quick reply. Could you tell me more about the wiring? Where should I look, and what am I looking for? I'm not great with auto electrics.

Honestly, I wouldn't poke around too much if you're not confident. It's probably just the actuator motor gone bad. Just go to a workshop and have them take a look. It cost me around 190€ to fix.

Understood. I appreciate the advice. I'll take it to a workshop. Thanks again for sharing your experience; it's been helpful.
