Good to know I'm not alone! He only mentioned one injection nozzle as defective. He suspects it's just dirty. He quoted me around 515€ for the repair. Does that sound like a reasonable price for an injector replacement, or should I get a second opinion?

515€ sounds steep but also about right if it's a full replacement. If he suspects clogging, maybe ask if they can try cleaning it first? Otherwise, if it is the injector definitely go to the workshop. These new engines are so finicky, they are complicated to repair at home.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to the workshop, and you were spot on. It was a defective injector. Replacing it solved all the problems. Runs like new now!

Hey, that sounds familiar. I had similar issues with my 207, although mine's a bit newer. Rough idling and stalling, plus the fuel consumption went way up. I'd also noticed a loss of power, especially when accelerating. Was it just one injector, or did they say all of them were affected?
