Thanks for the tip! Could you tell me roughly where that hose is located? And did you also get engine misfires, or just the hissing?

Yep, I had some rough idling too, which could be misfires. The hose was near the turbocharger, if your engine has one. Honestly, though, if you're not super comfortable poking around, a workshop visit might be a good idea. It shouldn't cost an arm and a leg - my repair was around 100€, including the part.

Appreciate the advice! I'll check the hose myself, but will take it to a workshop if needed. It was the intake hose, just like you said. Replaced it and all good now!

Dude, that sounds familiar! I had something like that happen with my Thalia. Check your vacuum hoses, especially the one going to the intake. Mine was cracked, hissing like a punctured tire. It messed with the air/fuel mix, like trying to bake a cake with half the ingredients missing.
