Latitude Hissing Noise Power Loss

I have a 2012 Renault Latitude diesel. The check engine light is on, with reduced engine power. There's also a whistling noise that turns into a loud hissing when I accelerate. My tool says it's a charge air temperature sensor error, maybe a bad cable or plug. It has 58821 km. Anyone else had this?

Sounds familiar! I had almost the exact same thing happen with my Latitude. Reduced power, the hissing – it was like driving a kettle! Have you checked the airflow sensor and air intake for any obvious damage or loose connections? That was my first thought.

I checked the airflow sensor and air intake, but didn't see anything. Since you had the same issue, do you have any ideas where the bad connection might be? Where should I look?

Honestly, I spent ages poking around before giving up. I took it to a workshop. They found it pretty quickly, and it only cost 95€. Best bet is to get it checked by someone who knows what they're doing. Save yourself the headache.

Thanks! I'm taking it to a shop. The issue was indeed a faulty connection. 95€ later, the car runs smoothly again.
