Skoda Superb Diesel Charge Air Temperature Sensor Issue
Summary of the thread
A 2006 Skoda Superb diesel is experiencing a charge air temperature sensor error, resulting in a check engine light, reduced power, and a whistling or hissing sound during acceleration. The issue is suspected to be a defective cable or plug connection at the sensor. A suggestion to inspect the sensor's wiring is made, and upon professional inspection, a loose connection at the sensor is confirmed and resolved, restoring the vehicle's performance.

Interesting, so you think it's just the wiring to the airflow sensor then? Did you also have temperature fluctuation issues showing on the temperature gauge?

Yes, it definitely sounds like a faulty connection to the temperature sensor. I didn't experience temperature gauge issues, but I did have reduced power. Given the whistling, hissing and stored error, I'd recommend having a workshop take a look. Could save you a lot of time and potential headaches.

You were spot on! Took it in and the mechanic found a loose connection at the charge air temperature sensor. 95€ later and she's purring like a kitten again. Thanks a bunch for the help!

Sounds familiar. I had a similar problem with my old Peugeot. Check engine light, power loss, the works. Though mine was more of a hissing sound. Could be the airflow sensor acting up. Have you checked the sensor's wiring?
