Trafic Incorrect Fuel Composition Error

Hi, I have a 2013 Renault Trafic diesel with only 41068 km. The check engine light is on. It stalls at idle. Error memory shows an incorrect fuel composition. Any ideas? I suspect a defective cable or plug.

I had something similar with my Trafic. Same symptoms, same error. Was your fuel particularly low when it happened? Did you have an engine knock when accelerating?

The tank was indeed quite empty. No unusual engine sounds from what i remember. What was the solution, if I may ask?

Low fuel level can sometimes cause this issue, especially if there's sediment in the tank. But since you had no engine knock, it is unlikely to be fuel contamination. I'd still suggest getting it checked by a workshop, better safe than sorry.

Thanks for the advice. It was indeed a defective plug in the fuel system. Repair came out to 95€. I'll keep the tank fuller from now on.
