Thalia engine stalls fuel sensor fault

Hi, I've got a 2018 Renault Thalia with a gasoline engine. Check engine light is on, and the engine occasionally stalls at idle. The error memory shows a fuel level sensor fault. Already checked for obvious wiring issues, but no luck. Any ideas?

I had similar issues with my Opel Astra, although the error code was different. A faulty sensor can cause all sorts of problems, especially with the ECU getting incorrect readings. Have you checked the fuel sensor fuse? I'm not sure if your model has one dedicated to the fuel sensor, but it's worth a look.

Good shout, thanks. I'll check the fuses. Whereabouts is it usually located? Is it in the engine compartment?

On my Astra, it was in the fuse box under the dashboard. But consult your owner's manual for the exact location on your Thalia. Unfortunately, if the fuse is OK, you will have to go to the workshop and replace the sensor. They have the proper tools to perform the repair correctly.

Thanks for the input. You were right about the sensor. It was replaced for 52€. Runs like new now.
