Problems with Kangoo Diesel 2012: check engine light, loss of power and starting difficulties
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2012 Kangoo Diesel is experiencing issues such as the check engine light, engine shutdowns, power loss, rough running, and starting difficulties. The suspected cause is a fault with the engine control unit. A similar issue in another vehicle was due to a sporadic communication error between control units, leading to costly repairs. It's advised to have the vehicle checked promptly to prevent further complications and potential high repair costs.

Hey, thanks for your answer. My Kangoo already has 92212 km on the clock and of course gets regular care and maintenance. I haven't had any similar problems in the past. Your repair costs sound pretty high, which is of course quite a lot. Let's see what my garage has to say...

Hey, no problem! It's always good to help each other out, isn't it? Your Kangoo already has good mileage, but it's great to hear that you're looking after and maintaining it well. Unfortunately, if your Kangoo has the same engine management issue as my Clio, you could be looking at similar costs. However, it could also be a less costly issue if it's down to a broken sensor or something like that. It's always hard to say without an exact diagnosis. In any case, don't wait too long and have it checked at the garage. The longer you wait with such problems, the more expensive it can become. I hope it's nothing serious and that the repair costs are manageable!

Hi, thanks for your valuable advice! Yes, you're right, it really is better to have the problem checked by the garage before it becomes a bigger (and more expensive) hassle. Your words about the engine management make me a bit worried, but it's certainly better to be prepared for the worst. I'll take my Kangoo to the garage tomorrow and see what happens. Thanks again for your help and good wishes! Hopefully the repair costs won't be too high... Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2010 Clio, also a diesel. I only have some experience with cars, so I'm more of an amateur than a professional. When I noticed strange symptoms with my car, I went straight to a garage I know and trust. It turned out that there was a sporadic communication error between the control units. It cost me a whopping 955 euros, which was quite a shock for me, but at least the car is running smoothly again. Can you give me more information about your vehicle? How many kilometers does it already have on it? What about general maintenance? Perhaps this information could help to clarify the problem more precisely.
