Hey, no problem, always happy to help! So, if your car looks really good in general and shows no other symptoms, then it could really be that only the fuel filler flap position sensor is faulty. A mileage of just under 140,000 km is quite an achievement for this class of vehicle. In my experience, this can happen from time to time and it's a good idea to tackle the problem now before more symptoms occur or even an emergency running program is activated. In any case, have it checked at a specialist garage. The costs should be within an acceptable range - you probably won't have to dig nearly as deep into your pockets as I did with my control unit. I hope this helps you. Please keep us posted on how it goes! Have a safe journey!

Hey, so first of all I have to say I'm just a bit experienced, not a professional or anything. But I had a similar problem with my Renault Zoe (built in 2020). In my case, the control unit was defective, so completely different symptoms, but the solution could be similar. I had it repaired in the garage and it cost me about 1000 euros. I would advise you to have it checked by a specialist garage. They can diagnose if this is the case and fix it for you. But, to be able to help you in more detail, I need more information about your car. Are there any other symptoms or peculiarities that you have noticed? What is the general condition? How many kilometers have you driven so far?
