Contamination of the air intake, you say? Where exactly should I be looking, and what kind of contamination are we talking about?

Yeah, on mine the intake was heavily contaminated with gunk. I tried cleaning it myself, but ended up taking it to a workshop. They confirmed it was the IAC valve issue due to a dirty intake. It may be worth getting it checked by a professional.

Appreciate the advice! I took it to the shop as you suggested. Turns out you were spot on, intake was filthy and the IAC valve was shot. Cost me 425€ to repair. Thanks again for the help!

I had a similar issue with my S40, although I didn't check the error codes. The engine would stall at idle, especially when the engine was cold. Have you checked the air intake for contamination?
