O2 sensor and plugs, huh? Interesting. How bad was your fuel economy when you had that issue? And did it throw any specific codes? I've got a scanner, but a little real-world experience would be gold right now before I start throwing parts at it.

Yeah, the fuel economy was awful! Like, comically bad. I was filling up every other day. Honestly, I can't remember the exact codes, but it was definitely misfiring and running rich. If you're getting similar symptoms, I'd seriously consider taking it to a workshop. They'll have the right tools to diagnose it properly. It's better than guessing and ending up with a bigger bill, trust me!

Appreciate the advice! Ended up taking your suggestion and went to a trusted workshop. You were spot on – turned out to be a faulty injector! 515€ later and she's running like a dream again. Thanks for the help!

Dude, that sounds rough! I've got a GT too, and I went through something similar a while back. Check engine light, terrible fuel economy, and the engine just felt sluggish. Did you check the oxygen sensor or maybe even the spark plugs? I'm not a mechanic, but is the air filter clean? I'd start with the basics before tearing into the fuel injection system.
