Interesting. The previous owner mentioned chip tuning. Could that be the cause, even though it was done some time ago? Can I verify this with a diagnostic or scan tool?

A dodgy chip tune can cause lasting issues, even years later. The error likely points to discrepancies between expected and actual engine parameters. Pinpointing the exact problem requires professional diagnostics. Take it to a reputable workshop.

I took the DS5 to a local garage, and they confirmed the chip tuning was faulty. They reflashed the ECU, and it's running smoothly now. The repair cost me 180€.

Sounds familiar. Any aftermarket modifications, like a chip tune? Similar problems crop up after people try to boost performance with third-party software. A faulty remap can really mess with the car's computer.
