Hello everyone
I have an issue with mu 2013 Volvo V40 1.6d, few days ago on the highway I got a "DSTC Temporarily turned off" and Check engine light and my car went into limp mode. I towed the car to my mechanic but since it was around 10pm he could not check it out until tomorrow.

Tomorrow he calls me and tells me that the car starts up and drives fine. After reading stored error messages there was a P1263000 error pointing to the injector on the third cylinder but since the car drove fine he added a Tunap injector cleaner and told me it could be due to the low diesel quality in my country and the fact that the car was parked for 15 days because I had coronavirus and was not able to drive it. Car drove okay for 2 days with occasional stutters, but yesterday it did it again, i pulled over switched the car off and on again and again it started working normally.
I contacted a local Volvo dealer and I booked an appointment on Monday to do diagnostics and a injector software update/calibration.

When I bought the car two months ago I did a timing belt change, oil change and I've changed all filters (fuel, oil, ac, air). The car drove beautifully and I love it to bits but I feel anxious now anytime I need to go somewhere.

Does anyone have experience with this engine and what should I do, I fear constantly that my car will leave me stranded somewhere since I use it daily to go to and from work?
