Megane engine stalling at idle

I'm having trouble with my 2016 Renault Megane gasoline engine. The check engine light is on, it sometimes stalls at idle, and engine power is down. It's done 110172 km. I'm thinking it could be the fuel volume regulator. Any ideas?

I had something similar with my Megane a while back. Your symptoms sound spot on. It was like a clogged artery, but with fuel. Have you thought about the high-pressure fuel pump? What have you checked so far?

Thanks, I did wonder about the high-pressure fuel pump. I've only seen the error codes for fuel pressure regulation. Did you get similar codes?

Yeah, the error codes pointed to fuel pressure issues. It's complex and needs special tools, so I'd suggest a good workshop. Ignoring it is like ignoring a toothache, it'll just get worse and cost more. Mine was a faulty high-pressure pump, and replacing it fixed everything.

Thanks for the advice. I booked it into a workshop to check the high-pressure fuel pump. It was the pump. The total cost was 1510€. Thanks again.
