Renault Master engine stalling idling

I'm about ready to set fire to my 2002 Renault Master diesel! Check engine light is on, the engine stalls whenever it feels like idling, and it feels like half the horses have bolted. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. Anyone else had this drama?

I have a Master, although I don't know if the year matters. These symptoms suggest a fuel volume regulator issue. Have you checked the high pressure pump?

Fuel volume regulator, eh? That's a new one on me. Whereabouts is that located, and is it a DIY job, or am I looking at a garage visit?

It's integrated within the high pressure pump. Given the symptoms, it's highly probable the pump itself is defective, and replacement is the recommended solution. I recommend a workshop.

Well, workshop it is, then. Just got the bill - fuel volume regulator defective, high pressure pump replacement needed, costing me 1510€. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction; at least I knew what I was in for!
