Kangoo rough idle error code

My 2023 Renault Kangoo diesel is giving me headaches. I've got a stored error code and the engine's idling rough at 232289 km. I suspect a defective engine mount or a faulty cable/plug. Anyone seen this?

I also own a Kangoo. Uneven idling and error codes could point to a motor mount issue, especially with that mileage. Are you experiencing any unusual vibrations, particularly during acceleration or deceleration? Did you check for play by moving the engine?

Vibrations, yes, particularly when starting. I did not check for play by moving the engine, though. Was it indeed the engine mount that was at fault? How did you diagnose it, and what was the extent of the damage?

Vibrations during startup solidify my suspicions. I can't definitively diagnose your Kangoo, but my issue was resolved by replacing a failed mount. Given the error code and symptoms, I recommend having it inspected at a workshop. My repair was around 95€.

Thanks for the advice. Your experience has been invaluable! I've booked an appointment with a mechanic to inspect the engine mount thoroughly. Hopefully, a simple replacement will solve the issue.
