Talisman rough idle stalling

Having trouble with my 2017 Renault Talisman gasoline engine. Hard starts, increased fuel consumption, diminished power, and uneven idling that sometimes stalls the engine. I'm thinking it could be a clogged injection nozzle. Anyone else had these symptoms?

Hey! I drive a Talisman too, and that sounds a lot like what I went through. The uneven idling and stalling especially. Any difference in emissions or weird smells? Mine turned out to be a dirty injection valve. High mileage?

Thanks! It's got 83765 km on it. I haven't checked emissions or smells, but I will now. What was your situation specifically? Did you need a replacement, or did cleaning work?

Cleaning didn't do it for me; the mechanic said it was too far gone. They replaced the injection nozzles, and that fixed it completely. With your mileage and symptoms, a workshop visit is probably smart to get a proper diagnosis. Better to catch it early. The nozzle repair cost me around 515€ including everything.

Thanks for the info and cost estimate! Sounds like a workshop is the next step. I'll let you know what the solution is so others can learn from it.
