Kangoo engine stalls at idle

I have a 2012 Renault Kangoo with a gasoline engine and about 134000 km on it. Lately, the check engine light has been coming on, and the engine sometimes stalls at idle. I've noticed it seems to happen more when the fuel tank is relatively full. Could this be related to the fuel tank ventilation system?

Sounds familiar. I had similar issues with my Kangoo. Check the activated charcoal filter. It might be defective, causing a leak in the system.

Thanks! Where is the charcoal filter located, and is there a way to test it myself?

It's usually near the fuel tank. Honestly, without proper tools, leak detection can be tricky. I'd suggest getting it checked at a workshop.

You were right, it was the charcoal filter! Took it to the shop, they confirmed it. Cost me 275€ to replace, but now the engine runs smoothly. Thanks a lot for your help!
