Skoda Kamiq engine issues
Summary of the thread
A 2019 Skoda Kamiq with a gasoline engine and approximately 101,211 km is experiencing engine issues, including a check engine light, a loud hissing sound during acceleration, and increased fuel consumption. These symptoms suggest a possible air intake leak, potentially from a leaking intake hose, which could also cause an engine misfire. The recommended solution is to inspect the intake hose for cracks or damage, particularly near the connections, and consider professional repair if necessary. The issue was confirmed to be a leaking intake hose, which was resolved by replacement.

Thanks for the advice. Where exactly should I be looking on the intake hose? Is it easy to spot?

Yes, it should be fairly obvious if you look closely. Follow the air intake from the air filter box to the intake manifold. Feel around the hose for any cracks, especially near the connections. The hissing sound is a good indicator. If you are not comfortable doing it yourself, I would advise taking it to a workshop. It's better to be safe.

Just to let you know, you were spot on. I took it to the shop, and it was a leaking intake hose. They replaced it for around 100€. Thanks for the help.

That sounds very familiar. I had a similar problem with my old Volvo a while back. Check engine light, hissing sound, and terrible fuel economy. It was an air intake leak for me. Have you checked the intake hose for any cracks or damage?
