A 2021 Vauxhall CrosslandX with a gasoline engine is experiencing issues such as reduced power, rough running, and jerking during acceleration, indicating it might be running lean. Initial thoughts were that the problem could be related to spark plugs or the mass air flow sensor. However, after further investigation and professional assessment, the issue was identified as a faulty fuel injector, which was replaced, resolving the problem.

Yeah, fuel consumption seems a bit worse than usual, now that you mention it. No weird smells though. What was the culprit in your case?

Well, I was hoping for an easy fix like a dirty air filter, but no such luck. After checking the intake manifold, and I still had the issue, I took it to a workshop. Turns out it was a defective fuel injector. Cost me around 500€ to get sorted. Given your symptoms, I strongly recommend you check your injection valves/injectors or just get a professional to do it. I know, it's a pain!

Thanks for the advice! Fuel injectors sound plausible. I'll take it to a workshop to get it checked out. Turns out you were right! It was a faulty fuel injector. Cost 515€ including labor. Runs like new now!

CROSSLANDX

Oh, that sounds frustrating! I've got a CrosslandX too, and experienced something similar not long ago. The check engine light was on, and it felt like the engine was holding back, especially going uphill. Did you notice any difference in fuel consumption, or any weird smells coming from the exhaust?
