Surely not, mine is petrol and flaps are on.

Does anyone know if they are functional or disabled by the software updates?
If they are disabled I would like to detach them, our climate is hot enough.
There is also a sensor underneath, maybe I will have problems if I disconnect it.

The flaps open as soon as you gain speed, AFAIK. I think they have minimal effect on engine temperature or airflow past the radiator.

these flaps are on cars from 2003-2005 (early 2005)
From 3/2005 on, there were no flaps anymore.
