No visible fuel leaks, and the air filter was recently changed. My scanner shows error messages related to a faulty injection system. Given your similar symptoms, was your issue electrical?

On that old Opel Astra, it was more than just a loose wire. The mechanic mentioned a faulty injector or two and ECU issues. Given your scanner readings, I'd take it to a workshop. Hopefully it's just a defective cable or plug like you suspect, but these things can be tricky.

Took your advice and visited my local garage. You were right! They found a defective cable connection on one of the injectors. A replacement and some labor later, costing 95€, the Megane is running like new! Thanks again for sharing your experience.

Sounds familiar! My old 2012 Opel Astra had the same symptoms: smoke, stalling, terrible fuel economy. Have you checked for fuel leaks? Maybe the air filter is clogged. I'm not an expert though...
