Fluence engine starting stalling issues

I'm having issues with my 2015 Renault Fluence diesel. It has 243985 km. The engine sometimes refuses to start, stalls at idle, and the check engine light is on. I've also noticed rough engine running and higher fuel consumption. An error is stored. Could a defective fuel pump be the cause, possibly due to a faulty cable or plug connection?

Hello! I had a similar issue with my Fluence. Engine stalling, check engine light, the whole shebang. I initially suspected the fuel pump too. Was it difficult to diagnose? Did you try any diagnostics yourself before assuming pump failure?

Thank you for your reply. I am not very experienced. I only checked the error memory, which pointed to the fuel pump. Beyond that, I have not performed any further diagnostics. What was the eventual solution in your case?

Ah, I see. It sounds very similar to what I experienced. My initial thought was fuel pump failure, but the cable or plug connection of the component was defective. Honestly, I would suggest visiting a workshop before replacing the pump. I ended up doing that, and the repair cost only 95€. It could save you significant money and time to get a professional opinion.

Thank you for the advice. I appreciate you sharing your experience. Based on your recommendation, I took it to a workshop, and you were correct! It was indeed the cable connection to the fuel pump. The repair cost was 95€. Thank you again!
