Volvo C70 Overheating

I'm having trouble with my 2009 Volvo C70 diesel. The check engine light keeps coming on, and the engine seems to be overheating. Diagnostics pointed to a problem with the active air flap system, the electromechanism specifically. Has anyone else had issues with the grille shutter?

A 2009 Volvo C70 diesel is experiencing overheating issues, with the check engine light activated. Diagnostics indicate a problem with the active air flap system, specifically the electromechanism. A similar issue in another vehicle was caused by a faulty shutter system affecting airflow to the radiator. The suggested solution is to have the electromechanism repaired at a workshop.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Hey, that sounds eerily familiar. I had a similar overheating problem with my 2012 BMW 3 Series. Check engine light, the whole nine yards. Turned out to be something with the air intake, messing with the cooling system. Have you checked for any fault codes related to the cooling system?

Thanks for the info. You mentioned an air intake fault in your BMW. Can you tell me what specific part failed? I'm trying to see if the cause is similar to the electromechanism problem in my Volvo.

Yeah, with my BMW, it was a faulty shutter system that controls airflow to the radiator. When it got stuck closed, the engine overheated, especially at lower speeds. I was hoping it was a fuse, but no luck. Honestly, with those symptoms and the diagnostic you mentioned, I'd just take it to a workshop. They can probably pinpoint the problem a lot faster.

Thanks. I had it inspected at a workshop. It is the electromechanism, and the repair will cost 590€.
