Thanks for the quick reply. I haven't checked the timing belt yet. Could a faulty timing belt cause all those symptoms at once? What caused the issue with your Astra?

In my case, it was a worn timing chain. This caused the camshaft and crankshaft to be out of sync. It's worth getting it checked by a workshop; it could be that the timing belt is not correctly tensioned, but it could also be the crankshaft sensor itself.

I appreciate the information. I took it to the workshop, and as suspected, the crankshaft sensor was defective. The final repair cost was 340€. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I had a similar issue with my old Opel Astra, though the fault code was slightly different. The symptoms sound very familiar. Did you check the timing belt or timing chain? A stretched or worn timing component can cause these reference value errors.
