Mokka Jerking Whistling Acceleration
Summary of the thread
A 2017 Vauxhall Mokka diesel exhibited issues such as jerking during acceleration, a whistling noise, stalling at idle, and increased fuel consumption, with the check engine light on. These symptoms suggested a potential problem with the boost pressure sensor, possibly due to a boost leak or faulty connections. After taking the car to a workshop, the boost pressure sensor was confirmed as the issue, replaced, and the car's performance returned to normal.

I haven't had it scanned yet, but I suspect that the cable/plug of the sensor are the problem. Where exactly should I be looking for leaks or connection issues?

Given the symptoms and your suspicion about the boost pressure sensor, I would check the sensor's wiring and plug first. A visual inspection for damage or loose connections is the first step. I'd advise taking it to a workshop, it really sounds like a bad boost pressure sensor

Cheers. Took it to the shop. Bad boost pressure sensor. They replaced it and cleared the codes. Cost me 95€. Runs like new again.

Hissing and jerking under acceleration on a diesel often points to a boost leak, could also be the turbo itself, or the air intake. Has the car been scanned for fault codes? A faulty boost pressure sensor could definitely cause these symptoms. Cable or plug connection of the component defective?
