Injection nozzles, huh? I haven't touched those. How did you figure out it was the nozzles? What did it cost you to fix, if you don't mind me asking?

Well, the black smoke was a big clue, and the mechanic ran a diagnostic. The error pointed to a defective injector. I tried a cleaner at first, but no luck. Ended up replacing the injector. It was quite expensive. I would go to a workshop and make a diagnostic.

Thanks a million! Took it to the shop, and you nailed it. Defective injection nozzle. They said it was probably just dirty, but it was too far gone. Cost me 515€ to replace, but it's running like new again. Appreciate the help!

Sounds rough! I had similar issues with my old Opel Astra, but it was gasoline, not diesel. Those were the days. Have you checked your injection nozzles? My symptoms were almost identical when one of them went bad. Have you noticed any black smoke?
