Twingo fuel filter heater problem

I have a 2007 Renault Twingo with a diesel engine. The error memory indicates a problem with the fuel filter heater. I'm experiencing reduced engine power, poor engine response, higher fuel consumption and uneven idling. Mileage is at 160247 km. Is a defective cable or plug connection likely?

I had similar symptoms with my Twingo. Have you checked the fuel line for any visible damage or blockages? When was the last time you replaced the fuel filter?

I have not checked the fuel line yet. The fuel filter was replaced approximately 20000 km ago. Could a partially blocked filter cause the error related to the heater?

It's possible. However, considering the error specifically mentions the heater, and given the symptoms, it might be best to have it professionally diagnosed. I ended up having to go to the workshop to resolve it.

Thank you for the advice. I will have the cable and plug connection checked by a workshop. Repair cost amounts to 95€. Appreciate the help.
