S80 diesel whistling noise and power loss

Hi, I have a perplexing issue concerning my 2016 Volvo S80 diesel with 62346 km. The check engine light is on, and the engine power is noticeably reduced. I've also observed a distinct whistling noise, coupled with a loud hissing sound during acceleration. Diagnostic examination logged an error pertaining to the charge air temperature sensor. Preliminary investigation suggests a potential defect in the cable or plug connection of the component. Has anyone encountered similar symptoms?

I have a Volvo S80 as well and I had very similar symptoms a while back. Check engine light, reduced power and that annoying whistling sound. It ended up being related to the airflow sensor. I am not sure if it's the same issue, but might be worth checking.

Thank you for your response. Could you elaborate on the specific nature of the airflow sensor issue you experienced? Was it a faulty sensor, a wiring problem, or something else entirely?

In my case, the mechanic identified it as a faulty sensor, causing incorrect readings. I had it replaced and the issue was resolved. I would suggest taking it to a workshop for a proper diagnosis to avoid unnecessary repairs.

I appreciate your assistance. I took your advice and went to the workshop. It turns out the cable for the charge air temperature sensor was indeed defective, as I initially suspected. The repair, including parts and labor, amounted to 95€. Everything is now running smoothly again. Thanks again for your valuable input.
