Spark plugs haven’t been changed since I bought the car. Vehicle diagnostics said misfire on cylinder 3. Could it really be just a bad connection? I find it hard to believe.

Misfire on cylinder 3 pretty much confirms it. A bad connection at the coil is a common cause, especially if the spark plug is old too. Given the symptoms, it’s likely the coil itself has failed. I would recommend taking it to a workshop.

You nailed it. The workshop confirmed a defective ignition coil. They replaced it and the spark plug, the plug connection was faulty. It cost me 95€, but the engine runs smoothly again. Thanks for your help.

Rough running and stalling on a 2021 Kodiaq? Sounds like a coil failure. When was the last time you changed your spark plugs? Misfire codes can be triggered by faulty plugs too, or even just a loose cable. Have you done any vehicle diagnostics?
