Corsa reduced engine power

My 2012 Vauxhall Corsa with a gasoline engine is giving me fits. Getting reduced engine power, a warning light, and she's starting real rough. Plus, the lights are flickering. Had the codes read and it's saying something about the generator. Could it really be the generator at only 192306 km? Anyone else had this?

A 2012 Vauxhall Corsa is experiencing reduced engine power, a warning light, rough starting, and flickering lights. Diagnostic codes suggest an issue with the generator. The problem is likely due to a faulty alternator, which was confirmed and replaced at a workshop, resolving the issue.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Sounds familiar. I've got a Corsa too. Had similar symptoms a while back. Check your alternator. Is it charging properly?

The alternator, huh? How did you figure out it was that? Did yours throw the same kind of error codes and lights? Was it a pain to replace?

Yeah, same lights, same codes. Eventually, the car wouldn't start at all. Best bet is to get it checked at a workshop. Probably the alternator's gone bad.

Took it to the shop. You were spot on, the generator was kaput. Cost me 960€ for the alternator replacement. Ouch! Thanks for the heads-up!
