Peugeot 2008 rough cold start
Summary of the thread
A 2018 Peugeot 2008 with a gasoline engine is experiencing rough starts and poor engine performance when cold. The initial suspicion is a faulty cold start injector. After considering fuel delivery issues and injector cleaning, it is confirmed that a defective injector is the cause. Replacing the injector resolves the problem.

Fuel delivery is on my list. When you say defective injector, did you try cleaning yours, or did you just replace it? Any way to test the injectors properly without pulling them?

I didn't bother with cleaning, just went straight to replacing the faulty injector. Best bet is to get it to a workshop for proper injector testing. Saves you time and potential headaches.

I took it to the shop. It was a defective injector as suspected. New injector fitted and all is good now. Cost me 515€. Thanks for confirming my suspicions!

Sounds familiar. I had similar issues with my 2008. Have you checked the fuel delivery? Could be the injector itself is defective.
