Wiring, eh? I'm no grease monkey, but I can poke around a bit. Where exactly should I be looking? Is there a specific plug or connector that's prone to issues?

Yeah, the connectors! In my case, it was a loose connection on one of the oxygen sensor plugs. Caused all sorts of havoc with the air-fuel ratio, apparently. Honestly, unless you're super confident, I'd just take it to a workshop. Could save you a bigger headache down the line. They have the gear to properly test the sensor and wiring.

Cheers for the advice! I wiggled a few wires and, yeah, not my cup of tea. Dropped it at the shop; turns out it was a defective cable/plug just like you said! Cost me 95€ for the fix. All sorted now!

Whoa, sounds familiar! I've got a 508 too (not the hybrid though), and had a similar problem. The malfunction indicator was driving me nuts, and the error memory was full of oxygen sensor codes. Did you try checking the sensor's wiring?
