Renault Clio Diesel Engine Stalling After Fuel Filter Change

I've got a 2023 Renault Clio diesel with 237010 km. The check engine light is on, the engine stalls at idle sometimes, and the power is way down. I recently changed the fuel filter, and now this! Could I have messed something up? Fuel pressure regulator maybe? Anyone experienced something similar?

Sounds frustrating! I had a similar thing happen with my old Peugeot. Check engine light, loss of power… turned out to be a faulty fuel something-or-other. Was your fuel efficiency normal before? Did the engine misfire before changing the fuel filter? Did you get an error entry?

Interesting! What exactly was it on your Peugeot, and what did it cost you to fix? Also, where is the fuel pump? The fuel efficiency has been normal until now, and no misfires before changing the filter, but there is an error entry now.

On my Peugeot, it was the fuel pressure regulator. From what I remember, the repair cost around 45€. With the error entry now, and considering you just changed the fuel filter, it does sound like the fuel pressure regulator is defective. Honestly, I would go to the workshop to prevent doing something wrong.

Thanks a lot for the advice! It was indeed the fuel pressure regulator. The workshop confirmed it and replaced it. Runs like new again!
