Fuel quality here is usually pretty decent, but you never know. I haven't gone as far as inspecting the lines themselves, though. When you say similar, do you mean the error codes pointed to a fuel mixture issue as well?

Yeah, the codes were all over the place, but the mechanic kept mentioning something about the combustion chamber and the fuel mixture being off. Ultimately, turned out to be a faulty sensor connection. I'd advise getting it properly diagnosed; could save you a headache down the line.

Sensor connection was what I was leaning towards. Appreciate the insight. Took it into the shop; 95€ later, seems a defective cable/plug connection was indeed the culprit. Sorted now.

That's rough. I had something similar happen with my old Peugeot 307. Kept getting a check engine light and rough idling. We suspected wrong fuel or some sort of fuel contamination. Have you checked the fuel lines and filter for any debris? Also, how's the fuel quality in your area?
