Megane misfire

My 2013 Renault Megane with a gasoline engine is giving me fits. 165k km. It's throwing combustion misfire codes like crazy. Engine's running rough, check engine light's on, and it jerks like mad when I try to accelerate. Feels like I've lost half my horsepower, what could it be?

Sounds rough. I had similar issues with my old Peugeot – turned out to be faulty fuel injectors causing cylinder misfires. Have you checked those, along with the spark plugs and ignition coils?

Fuel injectors, huh? That's interesting. How did you diagnose it exactly? Did you have to replace all of them?

Yeah, exactly the same symptoms. I actually didn't do anything, I just sent my car to the workshop. They checked all components around it and told me that was the issue. They only changed the faulty ones, not all of them.

That's all I needed to hear. I'll take it to the local mechanic, I bet it's the injection valve. Mechanic rang, faulty injector and with labour cost it all amounts to 515€. Thanks for the help!
