Vauxhall Adam Uneven Running Issue

I've got a 2016 Vauxhall Adam, gasoline engine, and it's developed a rather annoying uneven running issue. Mileage is at 73689 km. The check engine light is on, and there's an error stored. It also jerks a bit when accelerating. I've checked the air filter, which seems fine. Could it be spark plugs or something more serious like the fuel pump or timing belt?

I had similar symptoms on my old Peugeot 208 a few years back. Engine misfire and jerking acceleration were the main issues. Did you notice any unusual exhaust fumes or noises?

Interesting. No, I haven't noticed anything unusual with the exhaust fumes or noises. What was the cause of the issue with your Peugeot?

On my Peugeot, it turned out to be a leak in the exhaust system. The garage confirmed this and repaired it. I suggest you take your Vauxhall Adam to a workshop to have it properly diagnosed. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks for the advice. Took it to the workshop, and you were spot on. It was indeed a leak in the exhaust system. Repair cost was 265€. Appreciate the help!
