Avantime Fuel Level Sensor Issue

Check engine light on my 2002 Renault Avantime diesel, engine stalls at idle. Error memory shows fuel level sensor issue at 72729 km. Anyone seen this?

I had something similar on my Avantime. Fuel gauge was erratic, and the engine cut out. Sounds like a faulty fuel level sensor or something in the fuel system. Have you checked the fuel system fuses? A bad fuse can mess with the level sensor.

Thanks, I'll check the fuses. If they're okay, what next? Anything else I can check before a workshop visit?

If the fuses are good and the problem's still there, a mechanic is probably needed. Since the error points to the sensor, replacement or checking the sensor wiring inside the fuel tank is likely.

Thanks for the help. Workshop found a defective fuel level sensor and replaced it for 52€. Engine runs smoothly now, and the error is gone.
