Skoda Scala charge air temperature sensor issue
Summary of the thread
A 2022 Skoda Scala with a gasoline engine is experiencing a charge air temperature sensor error, leading to a check engine light, reduced engine power, and unusual noises. The error suggests a defective cable or plug connection. The issue was resolved by addressing a faulty connection on the charge air temperature sensor, which was located in the air intake system, typically after the intercooler. A mechanic fixed the connection, restoring the car's performance.

Interesting. Where exactly is the charge air temperature sensor located? And did yours also throw up a check engine light?

Yes, the check engine light was on for me too. It's often just a bad connection or a faulty air sensor itself. The sensor is usually located in the air intake system, somewhere after the intercooler. If it's a connection issue, you might be able to fix it yourself, but I'd recommend a workshop. It's often difficult to get to. They can diagnose it properly and replace the sensor if needed.

Thanks for the insight. I took it to a mechanic, and you were spot on – faulty connection on the charge air temperature sensor. 95€ later, all sorted and the car's running smoothly again.

I had a similar issue with my Scala, although my mileage wasn't quite as high as yours. Check the charge air temperature sensor. Is the whistling louder when the engine is cold?
