Thanks, that's really helpful! Can you remember if your check engine light was also on? And where was the loose connection, if any? I visually inspected the sensor and wiring, but maybe I missed something. I am really trying to avoid a costly visit to a mechanic if the sensor is fine.

Yes, the check engine light was definitely on. And honestly, I didn't find any loose connections myself. I took it to the workshop, they ran some proper diagnostics and confirmed the fuel pressure sensor was faulty. Considering your symptoms and the error code, I would suggest doing the same. Replacing the sensor might indeed be the solution.

Following your advice I took my Skoda to a certified workshop, they confirmed the defective fuel rail pressure sensor. They replaced it and after recalibration everything is running smoothly now. The repair cost me around 240€ including parts and labor. Thanks a lot for your help!

I had a similar issue with my Skoda Superb, although it was a while ago. I also have a diesel engine. From what I remember, the engine stalling and loss of power were pretty annoying. Did you check the wiring to the fuel pressure sensor? Sometimes a loose connection can cause these symptoms.
