Renault Wind Engine Stalling

Hi, I have a 2012 Renault Wind with a gasoline engine. Recently, the check engine light came on, and the engine sometimes stalls at idle. I suspect it might be the tank ventilation valve. Anyone experienced this before?

Hey! I had a similar issue with my old Opel Corsa. The check engine light kept popping up, and the engine would randomly stall, especially when the weather was hot. Have you checked your gas cap? On the Corsa there was also an issue with pressure sensors. Might be worth looking into!

Thanks! I'll check the gas cap. But I'm thinking it could be the hoses connected to the ventilation valve, maybe they are clogged. Was that something you looked at on your Corsa?

I didn't check the hoses myself, honestly. I'm not that mechanically inclined. But the shop I took it to mentioned something about the emission system and potentially clogged lines. If you're not comfortable diving in, it might be worth getting a professional opinion. Save yourself the headache!

Thanks, that's helpful. I think I will take it to a workshop. I've read the error code with an OBD scanner, and it confirms a problem in the emission system. It will probably be the tank ventilation valve. I found a replacement part online for 50€ plus around 125€ for labor costs.
