Seat Cordoba Diesel Engine Stalling

Seat Cordoba, 2004, diesel, 177510 km. I'm intermittently experiencing engine stalling at idle, concurrent with the check engine light illumination and reduced engine power. Diagnostics point towards a faulty rail pressure sensor signal. I suspect sensor failure. Thoughts?

Sounds familiar I had a similar issue with my old Renault Megane. Check engine light, occasional engine stalling especially when idling, and a noticeable drop in power. Could it be related to the fuel pressure?

Interesting. When you say similar, was the fault code also related to the rail pressure sensor signal or some other fuel pressure related issue?

Yes, the fault code pointed directly at the fuel rail pressure. Honestly, I didn't attempt any DIY fixes beyond checking the connections. Just took it to a workshop and they sorted it out pretty quickly, new sensor and all. Might be worth considering.

Defective rail pressure sensor was indeed the root cause. I replaced it and cleared the fault codes. Total expenditure amounted to 240€. I appreciate the input.
