C1 engine stalls at idle

My 2005 Citroen C1 diesel has 81302 km. The check engine light is on, and the engine stalls when idling. The error memory indicates an incorrect fuel composition. Could this be a clogged fuel filter?

I had a similar problem with my C1. It felt like the engine was about to give up at any moment. Have you checked the cable and plug connections to the fuel system components? It might be something simple like that.

Thanks for the quick response. Can you be more specific about which cable and plug connections I should be looking at? I'm not very experienced with car maintenance, so a more detailed explanation would be appreciated.

On my car, the issue was with the connection to the fuel sensor. It was a bit loose, like a garden hose not properly connected. However, I'd suggest that you visit a workshop to have this checked properly.

Thanks for the advice! It turned out you were right. I took it to the shop, and they found a defective cable/plug connection as well. The repair cost me 95€. I appreciate your help!
