V70 rough running error code

Yes, the rough running is definitely more pronounced when the engine is cold. Fuel consumption seems to be slightly higher than usual, but it is difficult to quantify precisely. And no, I have not carried out any performance tuning on the engine.

Okay, the cold start issue and increased fuel consumption definitely point towards injector problems. When mine was doing that, I tried a few fuel injector cleaners, but none of them really solved the problem. Ultimately, I had to take it to a workshop. They ran some proper diagnostics and confirmed it was a dodgy injector. Best to get it checked out professionally before it causes more damage.

I appreciate the advice; it's helpful to hear of someone else experiencing the same issue. Based on your experience, it seems wise to consult a workshop for professional diagnostics. After visiting the workshop, you were right - it was a defective injector and the final repair cost was 515€. Thank you again for your help.

I had a similar issue on my V70. Rough running and that same error code. Do you notice it more when the engine is cold? How's the fuel consumption? I'd also be interested to know if you've had any performance tuning done recently. That can sometimes mess with the fuel injection system and throw off the compensation adjustment.
