Skoda Kodiaq Diesel Engine Stalling at Idle

I'm having some trouble with my 2020 Skoda Kodiaq diesel. It's got 153463 km on the clock. The check engine light has come on, and the engine sometimes stalls when idling. I plugged in my OBD reader, and it's showing an error related to the fuel level sensor fault. Could this be a simple fix, like a fuse defective, or am I looking at something more involved? Any advice would be appreciated.

I also have a Skoda Kodiaq, though I'm not sure about the year. I had similar symptoms once: check engine light, engine stalling at idle, error codes related to the fuel system. Have you checked the car electronics, specifically the fuel level sensor? It could be a faulty sensor. Does the fuel gauge display incorrect information on the car dashboard?

Thanks for the quick reply. When you say fuel level sensor, do you mean the one inside the fuel tank itself, or is there another sensor related to fuel delivery that I should be looking at? Also, did you experience any rough running or misfires along with the stalling?

Yes, I meant the fuel level sensor inside the tank. No rough running, just the stalling and the incorrect fuel gauge reading. It's best to get it checked at a workshop since a faulty sensor impacts the car dashboard reading of fuel levels.

I took it in, and you were spot on. It was indeed a faulty sensor, and the invoice came to 52€. Thanks again for your help.
