Hi, thanks for your feedback. I haven't actually been to the garage yet, as the engine light only recently started to come on. But your tip about the cable connections could definitely be useful. My car has 78,575 km on the clock so far and the last inspection was about 6 months ago. So it's probably time to visit a garage and get an expert in. Hopefully the damage will be limited and it's nothing serious. Thanks for the tip!

Hey, no problem! Exactly, I would definitely not wait for the engine light to come on and go straight to the workshop. There can be many causes, even something serious. It could also be that the low-pressure fuel system sensor is faulty, as you originally suspected. This sensor plays a major role in the fuel supply and could definitely explain some of your symptoms. After all, your Clio isn't that old and doesn't have that many kilometers on it. So there's a good chance that the damage is manageable and you don't have to worry about high costs. So, cheer up and off to the garage. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's nothing too bad!

Thank you very much for the encouraging words! Your expert opinion has helped me to assess the whole thing a little better. I'm going straight to the garage tomorrow morning and will have the sensor checked and ask about any cable connection problems. I'm reassured that I'm not the only one who has had problems like this. I'll keep you posted when I know more. Thanks again and have a good evening!

Hello, I had a similar problem with my Renault Mégane (built in 2015). I'm not a car mechanic, but I do have a bit of experience with cars. The stuttering behavior and high consumption are very well known. In my case, the cable connections were defective at the time. They recognized this in the workshop and replaced the defective connection. It cost me around 95 euros. It could be the same for you. But we'd need more information to be able to say more precisely. For example, have you already taken the engine light to the workshop? Have they tried to read out any faults? What maintenance has been carried out so far? Any information could be helpful!
