Seat Cordoba Diesel Engine Power Loss

I'm having a strange issue with my 2000 Seat Cordoba diesel. The check engine light is on, and the engine feels like it's lost power. Fuel consumption is also way up. The scan shows a faulty exhaust temperature sensor. Has anyone experienced this? I suspect a car exhaust leak is causing temperature fluctuations and affecting the heat sensor.

That sounds familiar! I had a similar issue with my Cordoba. Was your fuel consumption higher than usual?

Yes, the fuel consumption definitely increased! Was it the exhaust sensor for you, or something else? How did you diagnose it?

Yep, same here. It was the car exhaust. The heat sensor went crazy because of a leak. I didn't figure it out myself; I took it to a workshop. They resolved the exhaust issue quickly. Good luck!

You were spot on! The workshop found an exhaust system leak messing with the exhaust sensor. Repair cost 265€.
