Cowboy patch on the cracked hose until a replacement arrives (generic 15mm elbow from China - Stellantis wants way too much money for the same thing).

Fuel filter looked pretty bad. No wonder the fuel pump was playing its change filter song (it sucks air, which it self-bleeds with an ascending tone - very strange!).

Astra service time. Found a cracked PCV hose so far. Need to browse the diagrams for a part number.

MAP sensor needed its annual clean, a regular service item you won't find on the official service instructions but it makes a big difference in engine performance and economy. That little sensor delivers the most important data for the ECU to get optimum fuel/air ratios. When its crudded up, the data is wrong, the mix off, the engine uses more fuel while delivering worse performance.
