Kangoo Stalling at Idle

My 2014 Renault Kangoo diesel's check engine light is on and it stalls like crazy at idle. My scanner says "incorrect fuel composition". I suspect a dodgy cable or plug in the fuel system. Anyone seen this before?

Sounds familiar. I've got a Kangoo. I had similar symptoms recently with the stalling and engine light. That "incorrect fuel composition" error can be a pain. Have you noticed any weird engine knock or changes in fuel economy lately?

Engine knock? Nothing obvious. Fuel economy seems normal, maybe a tad worse. Could it be something to do with the fuel mixture? Which cable or plug was the reason in your case?

I didn't dive too deep myself. Just checked the basics, but it's worth a look. To be honest, couldn't put my finger on anything, booked it into the workshop after that. Best advice, get it checked out by a pro before you start replacing parts like crazy.

Appreciate the insight. I took your advice and went to a workshop. Turns out it was indeed a defective plug connection, just as I suspected! Cost me 95€ to fix. Thanks again!
