Peugeot 208 Diesel Injection Issue

Having issues with my 2020 Peugeot 208 diesel. At around 38950 km, it's starting poorly, fuel consumption is up, and engine power is down. It idles unevenly and sometimes stalls. Think it could be a dirty injection nozzle?

I had similar symptoms with my 208 diesel: rough starting, poor idling, and stalling. Have you checked your emissions? The higher fuel consumption points to injection issues. Sounds like an injector problem.

Thanks, appreciate the insight. Was the issue definitively a dirty or defective injection nozzle? Did you see any specific error codes during diagnostics?

Yes, the workshop confirmed it was a faulty injector. Get it checked professionally, driving with a defective injector can cause more damage. I paid 515€ for the replacement. Worth getting it sorted.

Thanks for the confirmation and advice. I'll book an appointment with a workshop to have the injection nozzles inspected and replaced if needed. Appreciate the information.
