It was a sign for me. Eventually did injectors and a while later HPFP.
I kept driving until it failed, went on for months.

It can either be the high pressure fuel pump or the injectors.
Depends on the production date. If you have your car service in a dealership, they would have checked your injectors and replaced some of them in the recall.
It's best to have the fault check once you have an engine light come up.

Similar story I think....3 years and 18k...noticed a couple of extra cranks to fire then lumpy idle with an occasional bigger drop in rhythm.

BM should cover some of this surely? Its a known issue isn't it?? Otherwise what's it cost
Agree though... do nothing until it spits the dummy
