V60 Engine Jerking and Exhaust Leak

Having trouble with my 2017 Volvo V60 gasoline. 147576 km. The engine is running unevenly, the check engine light is on, and there's an error stored. Plus, I notice jerking when accelerating. Could this be the air filter or crankshaft sensor?

I had similar symptoms in my V60, though not with the crankshaft sensor. Have you checked for exhaust leaks? A leak can cause rough idle and jerking, throwing off the fuel mixture and triggering the check engine light. Could also be ignition coil or fuel injectors.

Thanks for the suggestion. How did you confirm the exhaust leak? And did it also produce similar jerking when accelerating?

The jerking was definitely similar. The exhaust leak was indeed the problem. It's best to take it to a workshop, so they can check the exhaust system.

Thanks for the advice! I visited the workshop, and it turned out to be a leak in the exhaust system, as you suspected. The repair cost 265€. I appreciate your help.
