Peugeot Boxer Poor Starting Reduced Power

I'm having trouble with my 2019 Peugeot Boxer, diesel engine. It has 13597 km. It's starting poorly and has reduced engine power. There's an error stored. The camshaft sensor cable or plug looks defective. Could that be it?

I had a similar issue with my Boxer. Sounds very familiar. Did you check the crankshaft sensor as well? Sometimes a failing crankshaft sensor can cause similar issues that might appear as camshaft sensor problems.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't checked the crankshaft sensor yet. Do you recommend checking both sensors?

Yes, check both sensors. In my case, the issue was indeed the camshaft sensor, but it's worth ruling out the crankshaft sensor, too. If the wiring looks suspect and you are getting sensor errors, it is likely the cause. I would suggest visiting a workshop; 95€ is a reasonable price.

Thank you very much for the advice. It was indeed the camshaft sensor, with a defective connection, as suspected. The repair cost exactly 95€ at the workshop. Your insights were very helpful!
