C250 (W205) hesitating under full acceleration

Hi guys, I'm having a C250 (W205) and recently noticed that the car stalls and hesitates when I go full throttle! However, it drives completely smooth under normal driving conditions in the city and on the freeway. The stalling only happens when I press the accelerator to the fullest!

Took it to a service station and was told that the high pressure fuel pump and an oil-related component had to be replaced although they couldn't find any notable issues when they looked at those parts! Total cost around $7500!

My question is that given the car drives normally in day-to-day conditions, what could be the issue? If the fuel pump is faulty, shouldn't it cause problems regardless of how fast you accelerate? Will appreciate your thoughts

Did you perform an OBD scan to see what possible codes you may have? best to start from there.

Error code P008A

Got error code P008A - fuel pressure low.

Any idea which part might be the issue?
