Mini Cabrio Diesel Engine Trouble

My 2012 Mini Cabrio with the diesel engine is giving me headaches. The engine doesn't want to start, sometimes it stalls at idle, runs rough, and the fuel consumption seems higher than normal. I'm suspecting the fuel pump is defective, as I read that the cables or plug connections might be faulty. Any ideas? I am worried this auto repair will be expensive. I hope it is not related to the fuel injector.

Sounds like a fuel delivery issue. I had a similar problem with my old Opel Corsa. Engine stalled all the time. Does the check engine light come on?

Yes, the check engine light is on. The error memory also stored a fault. Do you remember if the pump failure was gradual or sudden in your Opel?

In my case, it was pretty sudden. One day the gasoline delivery just stopped. It's like a tap that's suddenly turned off. I would definitely take it to a workshop and have them check the fuel pump and connections.

Just wanted to give you an update. The auto repair shop confirmed it was a defective cable causing the fuel pump to fail on my Mini Cabrio. They fixed it for 95€. Thanks for your help!
