Hi,

i have an Outlander 4n14 2013 2.2 diesel, 220k km.

recently the car has started shaking/stuttering when accelerating, most noticable in 70-80km/h.
i reved the engine at stand still from 800-3000rpm and it gave the same shake/stutter.

there is also a low growl/grinding noise when letting go of the gas in slow speed about 800rpm, nothing unusual on idle.

i checked all intercooler hoses and they seemed to be intact.

popped of the engine cover and noticed some soot on the first two injectors.

any tips what this can be?
there is an leak in exhaust manifold
