Mercedes B Klasse Hybrid Engine Jerking Hissing Noise

My 2020 Mercedes B Klasse hybrid is stumping me. The engine light is on, and it's jerking when I accelerate. There's a whistling noise, turning into a loud hissing sound when I give it gas. Sometimes it even stalls at idle! Fuel consumption has gone up, and it feels like I'm driving with half the power. I have 154941 km on it. I suspect it might be the boost pressure sensor, maybe a bad connection in the cable or plug. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Is it something to do with the air intake or intake manifold?

Sounds rough. I had similar symptoms with my Mercedes. Not the same model but I think it can help. Check the turbo boost. The engine light, jerking, and hissing point to a possible boost leak. A faulty boost sensor can cause all sorts of issues like those you describe.

Thanks for the quick reply! Where exactly should I be looking for this boost leak? Any specific areas in the air intake or around the boost sensor I should focus on?

Honestly, I'm not the best to explain this in detail. I suggest taking it to a workshop. That's what I did when I had those issues. They found it pretty quickly.

I took it to the shop, and you were spot on. It was indeed the boost pressure sensor cable. They replaced the cable and plug, and it cost me 95€. Runs like new now!
