When you say 'similar issues', did yours also include the engine stalling? And how bad was the contamination in your case?

Yes, the engine stalling at idle was the symptom that I was seeing. If the intake is heavily contaminated, it's best to bring your car to a workshop.

Okay, sounds like I'm beat. Thanks for the tip, I'll take it to the shop. Turns out the idle air control valve was indeed faulty, and the intake was a mess. Cost me 425€ to get it sorted, but at least she's running smooth again!

I also have a Vauxhall Adam, and experienced similar issues. It sounds like the intake is heavily contaminated. You might want to check your throttle body as a first step.
