Skoda Citigo fuel sensor issue

I am experiencing a peculiar issue with my 2011 Skoda Citigo with a gasoline engine, currently at 149341 km. The check engine light is illuminated, and the engine occasionally stalls at idle. Furthermore, I've retrieved an error code related to a fuel level sensor fault. Could a defective fuse be the culprit in this fuel system issue? Any advice on addressing this sensor fault?

Whoa, that sounds familiar! I had almost the EXACT same thing happen with my Citigo! Check engine light, the whole shebang. Was driving me nuts! Does your fuel gauge go bonkers too? Like, empty when it's half full?

The fuel gauge does seem a bit off sometimes, yeah. How did you fix it?

Yup, sounds like the fuel sensor to me! Mine was totally shot. The garage said it's a common thing. Honestly, I'm not mechanically minded enough to fix it myself, so I took it to a workshop. They replaced the faulty sensor, and it was all good after that. Think of it like a dodgy thermostat, but for your fuel! You could try checking the fuse first like you said, but it might just be a bad sensor. I'd say get it checked out by someone who knows their stuff.

It was indeed the fuel sensor. I got it replaced, cost me 52€. Thanks for your help!
