Figo rough running engine light

My 2013 Ford Figo diesel (34622 km) is running rough, and the check engine light is on. I scanned it and got an error about "reset quantity drift compensation." Any ideas if this could be related to car sensors, airflow sensors or fuel injection? I'm also hoping this doesn't kill my fuel economy.

That sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my old 2010 Opel Astra. Same symptoms – rough running, check engine light. The error code was different, but it also pointed to something related to fuel delivery. Have you checked the injection valves or injectors?

Thanks! You mentioned injectors. Did you try cleaning them first, or did you just replace them outright? And how did you figure out it was definitely the injectors causing the problem?

I didn't try cleaning them. My mechanic recommended replacing them straight away, saying cleaning them is often a temporary fix. He used some kind of diagnostic tool to check the spray pattern and flow rate of each injector, and a couple were way off. Probably best to get it checked professionally.

Appreciate the advice. Sounds like I'm headed to the workshop. Turns out you were spot on - defective injector. The repair, including "reset quantity drift compensation", set me back 515€. Thanks again!
