Peugeot 3008 Stalling Loss of Power

Alright car gurus, need some help! My 2019 Peugeot 3008 diesel is acting up big time. Check engine light's on, it stalls out at idle, and the power is totally gone! Feels like I'm driving a snail. Any ideas? Mileage is at 264747 km.

Sounds rough. Any codes when the check engine light came on? Could be a dodgy sensor messing things up, or maybe even fuel economy issues causing misfires. Is it drinking more fuel than usual?

Not sure about the error codes but yeah, fuel consumption is up! You think it's fuel related?

Increased fuel consumption, stalling, and loss of power on a diesel... I'd bet the high pressure pump is failing. Fuel volume regulator is probably defective. Get it checked at a workshop; could get expensive. It's like your car's trying to breathe through a straw.

You were spot on! Workshop confirmed it: fuel volume regulator and defective high pressure pump. Bill came to 1510€! Ouch. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
