I did check for error codes, and it pointed towards the EGR valve. I'm trying to gauge if it's something I can handle myself or if a workshop visit is unavoidable. Did you replace the valve yourself, or did you entrust it to a professional?

Given the precision required, I decided against attempting the replacement myself. It's a bit like performing surgery – best left to those with the proper training and tools. My local workshop confirmed the EGR valve was faulty and replaced it. If your error codes point to the EGR valve, I would recommend seeking professional assistance.

I appreciate the advice. Based on your experience and the error codes, I will schedule an appointment with my trusted mechanic. The estimated repair cost is around 355€. Thank you again for sharing your insights.

I had a similar experience with my Kona. The symptoms you're describing sound a lot like a defective EGR valve. It's like a blocked artery – restricts flow and causes all sorts of problems. Have you checked for any fault codes using an OBD2 scanner?
