Peugeot 208 Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor Fault

My 2015 Peugeot 208 diesel with only 10389 km is throwing errors. The exhaust back pressure sensor seems faulty. Speedometer warning light is on, plumes of smoke on acceleration, and the DPF refuses to regenerate. Sounds like a dodgy sensor, right?

Sounds familiar! I had a similar experience with my 208 diesel. Same symptoms: smoke, warning light, DPF problems. Have you checked the sensor itself for any obvious damage or loose connections?

Yeah, gave it a quick visual inspection. Nothing obvious, but those sensors can be tricky. Did you manage to fix yours yourself, or did you end up taking it to a shop?

I'm usually pretty hands-on, but this one stumped me. Ended up going to a workshop. Best bet is probably to get it properly diagnosed and replaced, especially if you're getting DPF issues.

Appreciate the advice! Took it to a local garage, and you were spot on - faulty exhaust back pressure sensor. Cost me 245€ for the fix, but at least she's running smoothly again!
