Bipper water sensor malfunction

Hi, I've got a 2016 Peugeot Bipper diesel with 261602 km on the clock. Recently, the check engine light keeps coming on and the engine runs rough. I ran a diagnostics check and it's showing a water sensor malfunction. I suspect it might be a defective cable or plug connection. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Interesting. I had a similar issue with my older Opel Corsa, also a diesel. The symptoms sound the same: engine light and rough running. In my case, the error memory pointed to a moisture sensor problem. Did the diagnostics give you a specific error code?

Yes, the diagnostics gave me error code 5203. Do you remember what the error code was in your case? And did you try fixing the sensor yourself?

I don't recall the exact error code, sorry. I didn't attempt a DIY fix though. Auto electronics can be tricky, so I took it straight to a workshop. They sorted it out quickly.

Thanks for the advice. I took your suggestion and brought it to a workshop. They found the same issue - corroded connector on the water sensor. Repair cost me 95€. Everything seems to be running smoothly now.
