Thanks for the quick reply! Now that you mention it, I might have bumped the pressure sensor. I wasn't paying much attention, to be honest. And yes, fuel efficiency seems to have taken a hit. Is that sensor a common culprit? What did you end up doing?

Yep, the pressure sensor is often the culprit in these cases, especially after a fuel filter change! It’s very likely you introduced an error entry. My mechanic mentioned that these sensors can be a bit temperamental. Honestly, I tried cleaning it, but it didn't solve the problem. In the end, I had to take it to a workshop to get it properly diagnosed and replaced. They sorted it out quickly. I would recommend going to the workshop.

Okay, I appreciate the advice. Sounds like a trip to the mechanic is in order. At least I have a better idea of what to expect. They replaced the pressure sensor, and the cost was about 45€. Thanks again for your help!

Hey there! I had a similar issue with my Trafic. Rough idle, check engine light… sounds familiar. Did you, by any chance, mess with the pressure sensor while changing the fuel filter? It's quite sensitive. Also, have you noticed any changes in your fuel efficiency?
