Exhaust flap 2 blocked (C43 2017)
From time to time i got this when i scan my car
Exhaust Flap 2 Has A Malfunction. The Actuator Is Blocked.
Is anyone deal with that and what was the actual issue the spring inside the actuator or the actuator itself?
Mine work flaps seemed to work correct whenever i press the button as soon i drive for 5min after the cold start, so not sure what actually is the issue

Hmmm, I thought your car was straight piped and/or did muffler delete? I would just force the valves open and disconnect everything or use an exhaust valve module to keep it open all the time and be done with it. I mean these valves have the reputation of squeaking or failing on many MB models, including but not limited to AMG GT, E 63 S and C 63 S.

Nope, just catless, im not fan of module because my car will be so much loud... im just trying to figure out by the code that i get from time to time if its the actuator itself OR the sprint inside which i can change
63s have 3rd flap which is in the H pipe and most of the times that's the rattle that they have issue with

When engaging the 2nd ignition position (foot off brake, so no start), you can clearly hear the exhaust valves actuate. About 5 seconds after turning the ignition off, there's also another actuation noise (presumably going to their at-rest position).
I did start the car and operate the exhaust-valve button and could not hear any actuation but I didn't let the car run more than about 20 sec as the garage door was closed.

FWIW, I just checked our 2017 C43 sedan (Canadian delivery). The engine was still warm, having returned from an appointment about an hour ago.
