Twingo cold start injector issue

I'm having trouble with my 2013 Renault Twingo (gasoline engine). It has 203152 kilometers. I think I have a faulty cold start injector, causing poor engine running and hard starts when it's cold. Anyone else had this?

Hey, I had similar issues with my Twingo. It was a pain, especially in winter. Rough idling, almost stalling when cold. I never really looked into it myself but what kind of troubleshooting have you done so far? Did you check the spark plugs or anything?

Thanks. I haven't checked the spark plugs yet. Can you tell me more about the symptoms you had and if you found out what caused it?

Okay, so it was pretty much exactly as you described. Bad running when cold, rough idle, and it felt like it was misfiring until it warmed up. Honestly, I didn't get my hands dirty. Took it straight to a workshop. They ran some tests and told me it was a dodgy injector. New injector, problem solved. Might be worth getting yours checked professionally before throwing parts at it.

Thanks for the advice. I took it to a workshop, and they confirmed it was a defective injector. The repair cost 515€. It's all sorted now. Thanks for your help.
