The suspected cause is a defective fuel injector. After considering other potential causes like spark plugs and the catalytic converter, the issue was confirmed to be a faulty fuel injector, which was resolved at a workshop.

Thanks for the tip. I haven't checked the spark plugs yet. Were your symptoms constant, or did they come and go? Also, did your mechanic mention anything about the air-fuel ratio being off?

My symptoms were pretty consistent, especially the rough idling and the check engine light. The mechanic did mention the air-fuel ratio, saying it was way off. Honestly, after checking a few things, they ended up suggesting a visit to a workshop.

You were right! I took it to a workshop, and it turned out to be a faulty fuel injector as initially suspected. Repair cost 515€ Thanks for the advice!

Sounds familiar! I had similar symptoms on my old Opel Corsa. The check engine light was on, and it felt like the engine was struggling. Did you check the spark plugs or the catalytic converter? Those were the first things my mechanic looked at.
