Peugeot 108 injection nozzle issue

Hi, I'm having some trouble with my 2022 Peugeot 108, gasoline engine. It's got 238351 km on the clock. Recently it's been starting poorly, and I've noticed higher fuel consumption. The engine power seems reduced, and it idles unevenly, sometimes even stalling at idle. Could a dirty injection nozzle be the cause?

Hey, I had similar problems with my 108. Is it misfiring at all? Mine was doing that, along with all the symptoms you described. How old's your fuel filter?

Thanks for the reply! No misfiring that I've noticed, but I'll keep an ear out for it. The fuel filter... honestly, I haven't changed it in a while. Could that really cause all these issues?

Well, a blocked fuel filter can definitely cause fuel starvation, but those symptoms sound exactly like what happened when my injection nozzles were clogged. It might be worth getting it checked at a workshop. Best case, it's just a dirty filter, but those injection issues are sneaky.

Okay, thanks for the advice! I took it to the workshop, and you were spot on. Turns out one of the injection nozzles was defective. They replaced it, and now it's running like new. Total cost was 515€ Appreciate the help!
