Cylinder 9 Fuel Injector A Offset Learning At Min Limit
The PCM applies a per-cylinder injector offset (Mengenausgleich) to compensate for production-tolerance differences in injector flow rate. On cylinder 9 the learned correction has reached its minimum value — the injector is delivering significantly more fuel than the calibrated reference and the controller cannot trim it any further.
Possible causes
- Injector over-delivering high
Symptoms
- Check engine light on
- Misfire or rough idle on the affected cylinder
- Increased fuel consumption
- Possible fuel smell or smoke from exhaust
Inspection / repair

- DIY: shop recommended
- Estimated cost: 200–1500 €
- Estimated time: 1–4 h
- Component: fuel injector
