Peugeot 207 Rail Pressure Sensor Fault

My 2014 Peugeot 207 diesel has a check engine light, stalls when idling, and has reduced power. Diagnostic check says it's the rail pressure sensor signal. Could a defective sensor cause all this? It has 289238 km, so is age a factor?

Sounds frustrating. I had similar issues with my old Renault Megane a few years back. Check engine light, stalling – the whole shebang. Turned out to be a fuel pressure issue, but I can't remember exactly which sensor was faulty.

Can you elaborate on the fuel pressure issue you encountered? Was it specifically the pressure sensor, or something else related to the fuel injection system? I'm trying to pinpoint the exact cause before replacing parts.

To be honest, I can't recall the specifics, it was a while ago. I remember chasing my tail trying to figure it out myself. My advice? Take it to a workshop. They'll diagnose it properly and save you a lot of time and hassle.

I appreciate the input! I went to the shop. Turns out the rail pressure sensor was indeed defective. Repair cost me 240€ including parts and labor. Thanks again for sharing your experience!
