Berlingo rough running reset quantity drift compensation

Alright, I'm at my wit's end with my 2007 Citroen Berlingo diesel. Got almost 187k km on the clock. The engine's running rough as a badger's backside, and the check engine light is mocking me from the dashboard. Plugged in my OBD reader, and it's showing an error related to 'reset quantity drift compensation.' I'm suspecting a dodgy injector valve. Anyone else wrestled with this beast?

I had similar symptoms with my Berlingo. Was the fuel economy also affected? Did you try any compensation adjustment or reset procedure? Car sensors can sometimes play tricks.

Fuel economy has taken a slight hit, yeah. When you say 'compensation adjustment,' are we talking about the drift compensation? And what kind of reset procedure are you referring to? I've fiddled with a few things, but nothing seems to stick.

Yes, I meant the drift compensation. In my case, it turned out to be an issue with the injectors themselves. I would advise you to take it to a workshop to have it checked properly.

Thanks for the heads-up! It looks like it's going to cost me 515€, but at least the Berlingo will be running smoothly again.
