Peugeot 508 rail pressure sensor issue

My 2018 Peugeot 508 diesel is throwing a curveball. The check engine light's on, it stalls sometimes at idle, and the power feels lacking. Mileage is at 50766 km. I'm getting a 'rail pressure sensor signal faulty' error. Suspect the sensor itself, but what do you guys think?

Sounds familiar. Had a similar issue with my old Volvo a while back. Same symptoms – check engine light, sputtering. Was it the fuel pressure too?

Fuel pressure, yeah, the error code points directly to the rail pressure sensor. Did yours throw the same code, or was it something else entirely?

Yep, fuel pressure sensor was the culprit on my Volvo. If your code's pointing straight to the sensor, I'd say that's your prime suspect. I'd suggest a workshop visit to confirm. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks for the input! Took it to the shop, and you were spot on. Faulty rail pressure sensor. Replaced it, cost me about 240€. Runs like new now!
