Yes, exactly! It does feel like a misfire, and it only happens when the engine is cold. What did you do to fix it? Was it difficult?

Sounds very familiar. In my case, it turned out to be the cold start injector. This injector provides extra fuel when the engine is cold to help with starting and smooth running, a defective injector can cause these symptoms. I took it to a workshop to get it sorted. It's not a job I'd recommend tackling yourself unless you're really confident with fuel injection systems.

Thanks a lot for the help! It sounds like that could be the issue. I'll take it to a mechanic and get the cold start injector checked. Turns out it was that injector, repair cost me 515€. Runs smoothly now!

I had something similar with my 206. Does it feel like it's misfiring, like it's not getting enough fuel when you first start it? It could be a fuel delivery problem.
