Skoda Octavia Hybrid engine issue

I'm having trouble with my 2021 Skoda Octavia hybrid, which has 118765 km on it. The check engine light is on, and the engine doesn't have as much power. I also hear a whistling noise, like a loud hiss, when I speed up. I checked the error codes, and it says there's a problem with the charge air temperature sensor. I think it might be a bad cable or plug connection to the sensor. Has anyone had this happen?

That's a lot of issues at once. I had something similar with my Peugeot, but it was a gasoline engine. Check engine light, less power, and a weird whistling sound. I think it was the air intake system. Maybe it's related to the air sensor?

Interesting. When you say air intake, do you mean the sensor or something else? I've been watching the temperature change with an OBD scanner, and the readings are odd, so I'm thinking the sensor might be bad.

I thought it might be the air sensor. I'd check for loose connections or damaged wires around the sensor. With these symptoms, a workshop visit for a proper diagnosis might be best. Sensors can be tricky, and it's hard to find the exact problem without special tools.

Just to let you know, it was a faulty plug connection on the charge air temperature sensor, like I thought. The repair was 95€. Thanks for the help.
