Hey, no problem, happy to help! With the mileage, wear and tear on other parts could also play a role, but the tank ventilation system definitely seems like a good place to start. If the garage didn't find anything during the inspection, it could be that the hoses are only partially clogged or that the valves there aren't working properly. I would tell them exactly how it is and insist that they check everything thoroughly. If it's not the tank ventilation system after all, perhaps the ignition coils or the fuel pump could also be checked. These also often cause problems with such symptoms. Hopefully this will help you and you'll get your Astra back in shape soon! Let us know what you find out. Best regards,

Hey, I had similar problems with my Opel Corsa, built in 2014 (so 2 years younger), also with a gasoline engine. I only have a little experience with cars, but my symptoms were almost exactly the same as yours - check engine light, loss of power, bumpy engine, etc. In my case it was due to clogged hoses in the tank ventilation system. The garage checked the hoses and cleaned or replaced them. It cost me a total of 175 euros. After that, the Corsa ran like clockwork again. If I were you, I would definitely have the garage check the tank ventilation system. It could also be the cause in your case. Can you perhaps say a bit more about the condition of your car? Mileage or recent maintenance? Maybe I can think of something else that might help. Regards,
