Creta Engine Stalling Check Engine Light

Hi, I have a 2016 Hyundai Creta diesel with 182367 km on the clock. Lately, the check engine light comes on and the engine sometimes stalls at idle. I suspect it might be a fuel tank ventilation system leak. Could a defective activated charcoal filter be the culprit?

Hello, I had a similar issue with my old Opel Astra. The symptoms were identical: check engine light and occasional stalling. In my case, it was related to a system failure within the fuel tank ventilation. Have you checked the purge valve and the air flow? These could also be contributing to the problem.

Thanks for the info. I haven't checked the purge valve specifically. How did you diagnose the problem with your Astra? Was it a straightforward fix, or did it require specialized tools?

The diagnostic process involved checking the entire fuel tank ventilation system, starting from the purge valve and tracing back to the activated charcoal filter. It turned out to be a defective activated charcoal filter. Honestly, I would recommend taking it to a workshop. A mechanic should be able to diagnose it quickly and accurately.

Thanks a lot for your advice! I took it to a workshop, and you were spot on. The activated charcoal filter was indeed defective. The repair cost 275€. Problem solved!
