Peugeot 3008 Misfire Issue
Summary of the thread
A 2018 Peugeot 3008 with 103,000 km was experiencing rough engine running, a check engine light, jerking during acceleration, and reduced engine power, with an OBD scan indicating combustion misfires. The issue was suspected to be related to the fuel pump or spark plugs, but further discussion suggested the possibility of clogged or faulty fuel injectors. After taking the car to a workshop, the problem was confirmed to be a defective fuel injector, which was replaced, resolving the misfire issue.

Thanks for the quick reply! The error code was P0300, which indicates random/multiple cylinder misfires. I haven't checked the live data yet to pinpoint a specific cylinder. When you say injectors, do you mean it could be a problem with them being clogged or something more serious?

P0300 points to a more general issue, making diagnosis trickier. Regarding the injectors, they can indeed become clogged, but a more definitive test would be to check their spray pattern and volume. In my case, one of the injectors was faulty and needed replacing. Given the symptoms and the error code, I would highly recommend getting it checked by a qualified workshop rather than trying to fix it yourself. A proper diagnosis is crucial here before throwing parts at it.

Thanks a lot for the advice. I took it to the workshop, and you were right – it turned out to be a defective fuel injector. They replaced it, and the car is running smoothly again. The repair cost me 515€, but it was worth it to get rid of that misfiring. Appreciate the help!

Interesting. I had very similar symptoms with my 3008. Check engine light, jerking acceleration, and combustion misfires are no joke. What exactly did the error code say? Have you tried looking at the live data to see if any particular cylinder is misfiring more than others? The fuel pump is a possibility, but I'd also consider the injectors. A defective injection valve can cause similar problems.
