Captur Engine Stalling

I have a 2018 Renault Captur, diesel engine, with 173621 km. The check engine light is on, and the engine stalls at idle. I suspect a fuel tank ventilation system leak. Could a defective activated charcoal filter cause this?

I had something similar with my Captur. Stalling, engine light... Sounded like a purge valve or maybe a pressure sensor problem to me. Did you check air flow? Could be a system failure.

Air flow seems normal. Where exactly was the issue in your case? Was it definitely related to the fuel tank ventilation?

Yeah, fuel tank related. Honestly, I couldn't pinpoint it myself. Took it to a workshop, they confirmed it was the charcoal filter. Best to get it checked properly.

Thanks for the info. Took it in, and you were right – charcoal filter was the culprit. Cost 275€ to repair. Runs perfectly now.
