Peugeot 5008 Active Air Flap Fault

Hi, I've got a 2022 Peugeot 5008 with a gasoline engine and a rather annoying issue. The check engine light keeps popping on, and I've noticed the engine's been running hotter than usual. I'm getting an active air flap fault. Mileage is at 245878 km. From what I've gathered, it seems like the electromechanism is defective. Has anyone else experienced this?

Active air flap fault? Yes, I had something similar with my 5008. Overheating and the check engine light – sounds familiar. Was the air intake particularly affected?

The air intake? I hadn't focused on that specifically. How did that manifest in your case?

Indeed, the air intake. It's all part of the thermal management system. If the flap isn't regulating properly, it throws everything off. I would advise you to visit a workshop, it seems the electromechanism defective. The repair bill might be around 590€.

Thanks for confirming. I suspected as much. I'll get it booked into the workshop and hopefully, that'll sort it. Turns out it was the flap motor indeed.
