Hi,
Great you could solve the problem. I got a similar machine and I have exactly the same problem. Could you send me how did you solve the problem? That would be a great help and can save a lot of time.

Was it clogged right there in the injector, but possible to break through?

Yes, it was easier than I feared: the clog was in the heat exchanger, like suggested by JRising.
I unscrewed the outlet of the flowmeter at the heat exchanger inlet and inserted a small copper wire. I poked at the blockage until I felt the pipe was more or less free. Then I turned the machine upside down and poured vinegar down the pipe. A few minutes later I was brewing my first vinegar-coffee.
