P1169 Fuel Pressure Senser In Range But High

[drjotty]

hi everyone

 

I have a mk3 2011 diesel. 60k

lately when i floor it or demand more power on a hill on mototrway it flashes up the esp (skid) warning hesitates, then goes into limp mode with engine warning light on.

I checked all the abs sensors and they seem fine.

 

I managed to hook up code reader while code was still active as it clears with ignition off and on.

fuel pressure senser in range but high​

I was going to change the sensor but cant find one for sale?

seems the emissions 5 engine isn't listed yet up to 2010 is?

 

are the sensors the same?

anyone else had this problem?

 

looks like the sensor may be on the mk4 Mondeo too?

trawling the forum it seems at least 1 person had same symptoms but with out reading fault code and they just did 100 miles at 3000 revs , 75mph in 4th and seemed to clear it.

will try red x and a few revs and see.

well tank an a half of redex, and thrasing about at 3000 revs not much change really. still when i leave it in auto and boot it at 1500rpm  it still oftn goes juddery then abs light flashes and goes limp mode.

any ideas?
