Kuga Manifold Pressure Sensor Issue

I'm having trouble with my 2010 Ford Kuga diesel. The check engine light is on, and it feels like I've lost power. The engine response is terrible, and I'm using more fuel. Could it be a faulty manifold pressure sensor or a large vacuum leakage? Any ideas?

I had similar symptoms with my Kuga. I would check the pressure sensor and the tubes that connect to it. Maybe it is an easy fix. What's the mileage on your car?

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm at 110298 km. Where exactly is the sensor located, and what should I be looking for?

Alright, with that mileage, it could very well be a sensor failure. Honestly, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop. They can properly diagnose the issue and replace the sensor if needed. It will save you time and stress.

Okay, I appreciate the advice! I took it to a local mechanic, and you were spot on. It was indeed the manifold pressure sensor and a large vacuum leakage. Cost me 235€ to get it fixed. Runs like a dream now!
