Kuga warning light and smoke

Hey, I'm having trouble with my 2010 Ford Kuga, gasoline engine. The warning light is on, and it's smoking a lot when I accelerate. It's got about 200874 kilometers on it. I'm thinking it might be the exhaust back pressure sensor. Anyone seen this before? How did you figure it out?

I had a similar problem on my Kuga. Is the engine running rough at all? It does sound like the back pressure sensor. If it's bad, it can cause those symptoms.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, the engine is running rough, especially at lower RPMs. Did you fix it yourself, or did you take it in?

Given the rough running and smoke, I wouldn't drive it much. I took mine to a shop, and they confirmed it was the back pressure sensor. Better get it checked to be sure.

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to book it in with a mechanic to check the exhaust back pressure sensor. They quoted around 245€. Thanks again for your help.
