Thanks for the reply. The engine isn't stalling completely, but it feels like it wants to sometimes, especially when it's cold. Which specific cable/plug connection was faulty in your case, or did you just replace the whole heater unit?

To be honest, I didn't diagnose it myself. I took it to a workshop. They confirmed it was related to the fuel filter heater and its connection. Saved myself a lot of hassle.

Okay, thanks. I appreciate the insight. I'll take it to a workshop as well. It was indeed the cable/plug connection. Repair cost me 95€.

I had similar symptoms with my Tourneo. Was the engine stalling, especially on cold starts? Also, have you checked the fuel lines for any blockages or leaks? Power loss and poor engine response can be related to the fuel system.
