Thanks for the quick response! I haven't replaced the fuel filter recently. I was hoping to avoid that for now, as I was focusing on the heater element due to the error code. But if you had a similar problem, maybe I should take a closer look at the filter itself. Can you recall any specific details about what fixed your issue?

Honestly, I didn't delve too deep myself. I took it to a workshop as soon as the symptoms persisted. They ran some diagnostics and pinpointed it to a faulty connection to the fuel filter heater, and the high fuel consumption. I'd recommend getting it checked professionally, especially with those symptoms.

Appreciate the advice. I suspected as much. I'll book it in for a check-up. It turns out, the cable to the fuel filter heater was defective, just like I thought. 95€ later and it's all sorted!

Sounds familiar! I've got a Chevrolet Orlando too, though I can't remember the year right now. I had similar symptoms a while back – reduced power, rough idle, the works. It ended up being a fuel system issue, potentially related to the filter. Did you check the fuel filter itself? When was the last time you replaced it?
