Peugeot 107 Diesel Starting Issue

Hey I'm having a major headache with my 2014 Peugeot 107 diesel. It's got about 157k km on the clock. Lately it's been a real pain to start like it's struggling to get going. My fuel consumption has gone through the roof and it feels like I'm driving a snail seriously reduced engine power! Plus it idles all rough and uneven and sometimes just stalls out completely when I'm waiting at lights. I'm thinking maybe it's a misfire Any ideas before I end up selling it

Sounds familiar! I had similar issues with my 107 though mine's a bit older. Those symptoms point to fuel delivery problems potentially dirty injectors. Has the car had a recent service When were the fuel filters last changed A clogged fuel filter can mess with the fuel pressure and spray pattern leading to all the problems you're describing.

Hmm I haven't changed the fuel filter in a while actually. Do you think it's the dirty injection valve too Like is it possible to clean it myself or am I better off leaving it to the pros What did you do to fix your 107 Any special tools needed

Cleaning them yourself can be risky unless you know what you're doing you could damage them further. Based on what you've said I'd bet on a defective injection nozzle. I eventually took mine to a workshop they confirmed it was the injector playing up and replaced it. It's probably best to get a diagnostic check done to confirm but I'd prepare for a trip to the mechanic.

Thanks so much for the advice! I took it to the shop like you said and you were spot on it was a defective injection nozzle! They replaced it cost me about 515€ all in but it's running like new again. Really appreciate your help!
