Corsa Stalling and Fuel Error

My 2018 Vauxhall Corsa diesel has a weird issue. The check engine light comes on, and it sometimes stalls at idle. I scanned it and got an error about incorrect fuel composition. Mileage is at 33353 km. Any ideas?

Summary of the thread

A 2018 Vauxhall Corsa diesel exhibited stalling at idle and a check engine light, with a diagnostic error indicating incorrect fuel composition. The issue was suspected to be related to either bad fuel or a problem within the fuel system. A similar case was resolved by addressing a defective cable to the fuel sensor. Upon inspection, the problem was confirmed to be a defective cable or plug connection, which was repaired, resolving the issue.

I had something similar happen with my Corsa. Is the engine running rough, maybe even knocking a bit? It could be a fuel mixture issue, maybe bad fuel or something messing with the fuel system.

Yeah, it does sound a bit rough sometimes. You think it's the fuel itself? I filled up at my usual place. What exactly was it with yours?

Could be a dodgy batch of fuel, or something else entirely. In my case, turned out to be a defective cable to the fuel sensor. I'd get it checked at a workshop. I paid 95€ for the repair.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. Took it to a shop, and you were spot on – a defective cable or plug connection on the component. They fixed it, and all seems good now. Cheers!
