Renault Wind EGR Valve Issue

I am experiencing a significant issue with my 2013 Renault Wind (gasoline engine, 131668 km). I have noticed reduced engine power, accompanied by the check engine light. There is also smoke upon acceleration, rough engine running, increased fuel consumption, jerking, and a loud hissing sound. I suspect a defective EGR valve. Can anyone provide insight or similar experiences?

I had similar symptoms in my Wind. Is the rough idle very noticeable, and have you had an emissions test recently? High vehicle emissions often points to EGR issues.

Yes, the idle is quite rough. I have not had an emissions test done recently. Do you suspect a jammed EGR valve?

That was indeed the problem I encountered. It's best to have the EGR valve checked at a workshop. In my experience, the symptoms point directly to that component.

Thank you for the confirmation. I suspected as much. I will bring the car to a workshop to have it inspected and repaired. The EGR valve was indeed defective, repair cost was 355€.
