Thanks for the tip! Where exactly is that sensor located, and how do I check the cable and plug? I'm not super familiar with car engines, so any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

The sensor is typically located near the intercooler, which cools the air after it's been compressed by the turbocharger, before it enters the engine. Given the symptoms and error code, and since you're not familiar with the engine, I'd recommend taking it to a trusted workshop. It'll save you time and potential frustration.

You were spot on! I took it to the workshop, and they found a loose and slightly corroded plug on the charge air temperature sensor. They cleaned it, reconnected everything, and now it's running perfectly. Cost me 95€, which is a lot less than I feared. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!

I had a similar issue with my V60. That charge air temperature sensor can cause some headaches. The error codes are usually pretty accurate. Have you checked the cable and plug connection of the sensor itself? That's often the culprit.
