Ford Edge diesel power loss

Help! My 2020 Ford Edge diesel is acting up. The check engine light is on, and it feels like it has way less power than usual. I've also noticed my fuel consumption has gone up. It's done 241953 km. Any ideas?

I had a similar issue with my Edge, though mine's a petrol. Check engine light, power loss, the whole shebang. Have you noticed any unusual smells or noises from the exhaust?

Now that you mention it, I have noticed a bit of a smell recently. Sort of exhaust-y. Could that be related? Where did you read the error code?

Yep, the smell is a big clue! Sounds like you might have a leak in the exhaust system, which is messing with the exhaust temperature sensor. I'd get it checked out by a workshop ASAP. Turned out to be the sensor which was giving false alerts, they were charging 265€ including the sensor replacement

Thanks so much! That’s really helpful. I took it to the shop, and you were spot on - faulty exhaust temperature sensor likely caused by a small exhaust leak. Got it fixed for 265€, runs like new now!
