VelSatis diesel engine issues

Hi, I have a 2004 Renault VelSatis diesel with 204955 km. Fuel consumption is up, power feels reduced, and it sometimes stalls when idling. Plus, there's smoke when accelerating. Could this be a faulty injection system?

These symptoms suggested a potential issue with the injection system. However, the problem was identified as a defective cable or plug connection, which, once replaced, resolved the issues, restoring the vehicle's performance.

Sounds familiar. Had something similar with my old Opel Vectra. Was the air filter.

Turns out it was a defective cable or plug connection on the component. Get it checked at a workshop.

Thanks! The workshop found a defective cable, just like you said. They replaced it, and it now runs smoothly. Cost me 95€. Thanks again!
