Crossland X Generator Failure

I've got a 2018 Vauxhall Crossland X gasoline with 228360 km. Experiencing reduced engine power, warning light, hard starts, and flickering lights. Error memory suggests a generator issue. Anyone else had similar generator or alternator problems, maybe serpentine belt or engine misfires? Worried about it not starting at all.

I also own a Crossland X and I've noticed something similar. The lights weren't as bright as they used to be, and starting the car seemed a bit slower than usual. I haven't had any warning lights come on yet, though. Did you notice any other strange electrical problems before the warning light appeared?

Before the warning light, no other electrical issues. Reduced power and hard starts were gradual, lights appeared with the warning. Were your symptoms gradual or sudden?

Mine were pretty gradual, yeah. I'd suggest getting it checked out by a workshop as soon as possible to avoid further damage.

Took it to a mechanic, and the generator was defective and needed replacement. Total cost was 960€. Your experience really helped speed things up. Thanks!
