Grandland X Engine Stalling

Hey, having a nightmare with my 2020 Vauxhall Grandland X hybrid. 67k on the clock. The check engine light is on, and it stalls at idle sometimes. Power is way down too. I'm thinking it's the fuel volume regulator, likely the high pressure pump itself. Anyone else seen this?

Hi there! I had similar issues with my 2018 Volvo XC60. Reduced engine power, engine stalling, and the check engine light illuminated. I took it to the workshop and their diagnostic tool pointed towards the fuel pressure sensor. From my understanding, fuel pressure sensors measures the pressure of the fuel being delivered to the engine. Have you checked that?

Fuel pressure sensor is definitely a possibility. Where was yours located on the Volvo and how did you eventually fix it?

On my Volvo, it was located on the fuel rail, which is part of the fuel injection system supplying fuel to the engine. Because of the location and its complexity, I had a qualified mechanic replace it. It completely resolved the issue and got the car running smoothly again. I would recommend professional inspection.

Thanks! I appreciate the insights. It was indeed the high pressure pump, and the defective fuel volume regulator was the culprit. Repair cost me 1510€, but she's running smooth as butter now!
