What causes a rough idle in a Vauxhall Astra?

I have noticed that my Vauxhall Astra has a rough idle when I start it in the morning. It smooths out after a few minutes of driving, but I'm concerned that it might be a symptom of a larger issue. What could be causing this and how can I address it?

A rough idle can be caused by a variety of issues, from dirty fuel injectors to a faulty oxygen sensor. I would recommend taking your car to a mechanic for a diagnostic test to pinpoint the root cause of the issue.

In my experience, a common culprit of a rough idle in Vauxhall Astras is a dirty air filter. If you haven't changed your air filter in a while, try doing that first and see if it improves the idle.

I had the same issue with my Astra a few months ago and it turned out to be a misfiring spark plug. I would recommend getting your spark plugs checked and replaced if necessary.
