Mercedes V Klasse Fuel Level Sensor Issue

My 2011 Mercedes V Klasse with a gasoline engine has the check engine light on and sometimes stalls at idle. The error memory points to a fuel level sensor fault. Has anyone seen this before, and where should I start? Could a bad fuse cause this, if there's one for the fuel level sensor?

I had a similar issue with my Mercedes V Klasse. The fuel gauge acted erratically, sometimes showing a full tank when it wasn't, and the check engine light came on. A diagnostic showed a fuel level sensor malfunction. I'd suggest checking the fuel system, including the sensor and wiring.

Thanks for sharing. Do you remember the troubleshooting steps or error codes? Was the repair simple, or did it involve more work in the fuel tank or system?

I don't have the specific error codes. The issue required a visit to a workshop. Technicians assessed the fuel system, tank, gauge, and sensor. They found the sensor needed replacing. I'd recommend getting professional help from a workshop with the right tools and knowledge for diagnosis and repair.

Thanks for the confirmation. I took it to a shop, and it was a faulty fuse for the fuel level sensor. Replacing it fixed the problem. The total cost was 52€.
