Ecosport diesel engine issues

My 2012 Ford Ecosport diesel is acting up. It's done 141534 km. Engine feels weak, check engine light is on, runs rough, fuel consumption is way up, and it jerks when I accelerate. Could this be a fuel injector problem?

Sounds familiar. I had similar issues with my Ecosport. Rough running and the check engine light were the first signs. Have you checked for error codes? Could be a rich mixture problem. Faulty spark plugs or a leak in the intake manifold can also cause that.

Error codes point towards too much fuel. What exactly was the issue on your Ecosport? Was it injectors?

Yes, eventually it turned out to be a defective fuel injector. Caused all sorts of problems. If the error codes point that way, better have a workshop check them. The repair was around 515€, but worth it.

Thanks for the info. Will take it to a mechanic. Sounds like my injectors are shot. Fingers crossed that's all it is.
