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?

A 2012 Ford Ecosport diesel with 141,534 km is experiencing engine weakness, a check engine light, rough running, increased fuel consumption, and jerking during acceleration. The initial suspicion is a fuel injector problem, supported by error codes indicating excessive fuel. A similar case confirmed a defective fuel injector as the cause, suggesting a workshop inspection and potential injector replacement as a solution.

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.
