Thank you for your response. I haven't had the vehicle diagnostics performed yet. I wanted to gather some information before going to a workshop. Can you describe your issue in more detail? And what was the solution in your case?

Sure thing! The dashboard light was on and off. I remember the car jerking a bit when accelerating. Took it to a workshop and they said it was definitely the chip tuning messing with the engine's computer. It's probably best to get yours checked out professionally, as it can cause serious damage in the long run.

I appreciate your advice. I will take the car to the workshop and have it checked. The repair cost was 180€. It was indeed a faulty chip tuning. Thank you again!

Oh, that sounds familiar! I had a similar issue with my V60. Dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree, and the car felt like it was running on fumes. Did you happen to get any specific fault codes from the vehicle diagnostics? Knowing the code can really help narrow down the possibilities. Was the chip tuning done recently?
