Clio Hybrid engine misfires

My 2021 Renault Clio Hybrid with 98258 km is misfiring. Rough running, check engine light, jerking during acceleration, and reduced power. Suspect a defective injector. Similar experiences?

Hey! Sounds frustrating! I had a similar issue with my 2018 Opel Insignia, petrol engine. Almost identical symptoms – rough idle, check engine light, the whole shebang. Cylinder misfire was the culprit. Did you check the ignition coil or spark plug?

If the ignition coil and spark plug were defective, would that typically manifest solely as combustion misfires, or are there usually other indicators? What was the root cause in your case?

In my case with the Insignia, the misfire was the first sign of trouble! It turned out to be a faulty fuel injector. Given your symptoms and the hybrid engine, it might be wise to get the injectors checked professionally. I spent around 450€ for the repair. I suggest going to the workshop.

Your advice was helpful. I consulted a mechanic, and it was a defective fuel injector. The repair cost 515€. The car runs smoothly again.
