RCZ exhaust temperature sensor fault

Nightmare with my 2011 Peugeot RCZ diesel. Check engine light keeps popping on, feels like it's lost power, and fuel consumption seems higher. Done 272728 km. Could be an exhaust temperature sensor, maybe from an exhaust system leak? Anyone else had this?

I had something similar with my RCZ. Is it throwing any specific error codes? Mine was the exhaust sensor too, and those symptoms sound familiar.

Yeah, it's showing a fault with the exhaust temperature sensor. Was it a pain to fix? Did you notice a big difference after getting it sorted?

Okay, with that error code, it's almost definitely the exhaust sensor. I'd say get it checked at a workshop. They'll be able to confirm if it's a leak or just the sensor itself. It made a huge difference once it was fixed, power was back and fuel was way better.

Cheers for the advice! Took it to the shop, and you were spot on. It was a faulty exhaust temperature sensor thanks to a small leak. Got it sorted for 265€ and the car is running like a dream again. Really appreciate the help!
