Mini Paceman Diesel Engine Trouble

My 2015 Mini Paceman diesel is giving me some grief. The check engine light is on, and I'm experiencing reduced engine power and rough running. Car diagnostics indicates a faulty intake air temperature sensor and the error is stored in the memory. Think that IAT sensor could be the culprit?

Reduced engine power and a check engine light? Sounds familiar! I had a similar issue with my Paceman. Did you check the IAT sensor? Where did you get the car diagnostics done?

Yeah, the diagnostics pointed to the IAT sensor, and it makes sense with the rough running and air temperature readings being off. Was that actually the problem in your case? Any other symptoms you noticed?

Definitely sounds like the IAT sensor. My Paceman threw similar codes and had the same symptoms. If the temperature reading is way off, it'll mess with the air/fuel mixture. I'd suggest getting it checked by a workshop.

Just wanted to update you, it was indeed the IAT sensor. Replaced it, cost me 155€. Everything's running smoothly now. Thanks for the help!
