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?
If it is ok now they must have fixed it surely? The fuel filter MUST be a volvo one , it is ultra high capacity as they were blocking prematurely .
