How did you figure out it was the fuel injectors Did you try cleaning them first, or did you just replace them

In my case, the mechanic ran some diagnostics and pinpointed one of the injectors as defective. They suspected it was just really gunked up. They tried cleaning it first, but it didn't solve the problem. Ultimately, they recommended replacing the injector. I'd suggest getting it checked out by a professional to be sure. It could save you money in the long run, and they can properly diagnose the Diesel engine misfire.

Took my Skoda Praktik to the mechanic. You were spot on a faulty injector. The repair cost me 515€, but now the engine runs smoothly again. Thanks so much for your help!

I had a similar issue with my Skoda Praktik. The symptoms sound very familiar rough idling, loss of power, and the engine occasionally stalling. Have you checked your fuel injectors A dirty or failing injector could definitely cause these Diesel engine performance problems and the misfire.
