Peugeot 208 engine power reduced

I'm experiencing a problem with my Peugeot 208 (2015) gasoline engine. The engine power is significantly reduced, and an error is stored. The car has 228632 km on the clock. Any ideas what could be the problem?

Hey, I had a similar issue with my 208. Was it the ECU, perhaps? I remember the engine feeling like it was choking. Does it happen randomly or all the time?

Thanks. It happens constantly, and the error code points to a defect in the engine control unit. Could you elaborate on how you resolved the ECU issue?

Okay, mine was indeed the ECU. I didn't fix it myself, though. I took it straight to a workshop; it's a bit beyond my capabilities. They replaced a faulty relay if I remember correctly. It fixed the issue instantly.

Thank you very much. I took it to a workshop and, as you suspected, the main relay of the ECU was defective. Replacing it for 120€ solved the problem.
