Skoda Kodiaq Engine Misfires

I'm experiencing some issues with my 2017 Skoda Kodiaq gasoline engine with about 238940 km on the clock. The engine is running rough, and the check engine light keeps popping up. I'm also getting jerking when accelerating and a noticeable loss of power. The error code points to combustion misfires. Could this be related to a faulty injection valve or perhaps the fuel pump? I already replaced the spark plugs, but the problem persists. Any ideas?

Combustion misfires? Sounds familiar! I had something similar happen with my Kodiaq. Rough idling, check engine light flashing… it was a nightmare. Did you notice any difference in throttle response?

Throttle response was a bit sluggish, yes! How did you figure out it was the injectors? Did you also have jerking when accelerating? Was it expensive to fix?

Yep, the jerking acceleration sounds exactly like what I experienced. Honestly, I didn't figure it out myself. After checking the spark plugs, I took it straight to a workshop. They ran some diagnostics and pinpointed it to a defective injector. It's a common issue, apparently. I would definitely get it checked, hopefully it is not too expensive.

Took the Kodiaq to the workshop, and you were right! It was a faulty injector. Fixed now, cost 515€. Thanks for the help!
