Yes, the previous owner mentioned chip tuning. Could that be it, even if it was done a while ago?

Definitely possible. Aftermarket tunes can cause issues, especially if not done properly. After a while, the chip might degrade or throw errors. Take it to a workshop with diagnostics tools to confirm. They can check the chip and if it's causing the engine issue.

Workshop confirmed a faulty chip tune. Cost 180€ to sort. Thanks!

I had a similar problem with my Saxo. Any recent chip tune or work done? Reduced power and an error code could mean something's messing with the car's computer.
