Seat Exeo Diesel Engine Stalling Advice Needed
Summary of the thread
A 2010 Seat Exeo diesel was experiencing engine stalling and a persistent check engine light, with a diagnostic code indicating a fault with the rail pressure sensor signal. This issue was suspected to affect the fuel injection system, leading to stalling and reduced engine performance. The suggested solution was to have the sensor checked and potentially replaced by a professional. After taking the car to a garage, the faulty rail pressure sensor was confirmed and replaced, resolving the stalling issue.

The check engine light is pretty much always on now. I haven't really noticed a change in fuel consumption, to be honest. When you say fuel injection, what exactly could be wrong there?

Yeah, a faulty rail pressure sensor can definitely cause those symptoms. The fuel injection system relies on that sensor to know how much fuel to inject. If the signal is bad, it messes everything up – hence the stalling and reduced engine performance. Honestly, messing with fuel injection on a diesel engine can be tricky. I'd probably take it to a workshop to get it checked out properly. They can confirm the sensor is faulty and replace it. Plus, they can check for any other underlying issues. Good luck!

Just wanted to say thanks for the help. Took it to a local garage, and they confirmed it was the rail pressure sensor. Cost me about 240€ to get it sorted, but the Exeo is running perfectly again. No more engine stalling!

Whoa, that sounds rough. Engine stalling is never a good sign. It could be the fuel injection playing up because of that sensor, especially on a diesel engine. Has the check engine light been on constantly, or is it intermittent? Also, has your fuel consumption changed at all? Those things might give us a few more clues. It's probably the sensor signal like you said, but I'm no expert!
