Mercedes CLA Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Issue

My 2023 Mercedes CLA gasoline engine is giving me fits I have 129451 km on the clock and the check engine light is on It stalls at idle sometimes and the power is gone I ran a scan and it is throwing a code for a faulty fuel rail pressure sensor signal Has anyone else dealt with this fuel injection issue on their CLA I am looking at a 240€ repair bill

Sounds familiar I had similar check engine symptoms on my CLA stalling and power loss Fuel pressure sensor was the culprit Did you check the wiring to the sensor Sometimes it is just a loose connection or damaged wire causing the issue rather than the sensor itself Might save you some euros

Wiring hmmm I had not really dug that deep Is it easy to get to And what exactly am I looking for Just obvious frays or disconnections Could a dodgy wire cause all these problems with the fuel injection system and engine performance

Yes the wiring is fairly accessible it is near the fuel rail Look for anything obvious corrosion breaks loose connectors A faulty signal from a bad wire definitely mimics a bad sensor But honestly even if the wiring looks okay given your symptoms I would bet the sensor is failing If it were me I would probably get it sorted at a workshop Peace of mind

I appreciate the insight I checked the wiring as you suggested and everything looked fine I took it to the shop and it was a faulty fuel pressure sensor 240€ later the check engine light is gone and she is purring like a kitten again Thanks for the advice
