V50 rail pressure sensor issue

I'm having issues with my 2009 Volvo V50 diesel. The check engine light keeps popping up, and sometimes the engine stalls when idling. Plus, it feels like I'm not getting the usual power when I accelerate. I scanned it and got a 'rail pressure sensor signal faulty' error. Anyone else run into this?

Yep, sounds familiar! I had something similar happen on my V50. Is it throwing any other codes, or just the pressure sensor one?

Just the pressure sensor one, as far as I can see. Did replacing the sensor fix it for you?

It did indeed! Same symptoms and error code. But honestly, unless you're comfortable working on fuel injection systems, I'd suggest getting it checked by a pro. Fuel pressures are no joke.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll take it to my local shop and have them take a look. Turns out the pressure sensor was indeed defective, and the whole repair cost me 240€. All good now!
