It wants some beans. Drive it how it begs to be driven!
Unless it cuts out I wouldn't worry about it - it could be the heat, dirty fuel, dirty or blocked air filter, or the menopause

Temp sensor feeding ECU defective? The ECU will think the car is warm so runs lean and stalls..
Alternative is throttle body clean required.

Only if it goes out of it's working range which I've yet to see one do on a PSA product.

Hi, got the new sensor fitted, refilled the coolant system (only managed 5 litres in! Supposed to be 8.2) ran the car to get it up to temperature, got antipollution fault from the new sensor, voltage too high! Cleared the fault and hasn't come back. The car seems to be running smoother, the over fuelling smell has gone and something happened that never has before, the miles in the tank gauge was rising lol, went from 50 to 62! Would this be the ecu accounting for the car no longer over fuelling. Thanks. Sorry about rabbitting on.

+ incorrect fuelling due to faulty temp sensor will affect power output and possible cause of low power on dyno

Just moved from standard GTI to the 180, getting the same issue, going to do a plug change as matter of course, do you have the part code for the temp sensor from Euro, did you fit yourself? if so, where is it located and much of a job?
Cheers
