Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI Automatic - Skoda Octavia 1loss of power - GlancyM

Hi,

I have a 2002 Skoda Octavia Automatic transmission 1.9 TDI with 260K miles done.
There is no power when accelerating and very slow to change gear upwsrds or sometimes refuses to change upwards at all. The maximum amount of revs is 3000-3500.
I have changed the air flow meter on two occassions and the transmission oil and filter.
The problem is slowly getting worse on the vehicle.
Sometimes when i disconnect the air flow meter it improves performance somewhat for a period of time.
Please help!!

This will be a VW Tdi engine, there are various faults that will cause this problem which is basically that the engine is in 'limp home' mode with much reduced engine power output.

Usually caused by faulty MAF, not in your case as it has been replaced, or split turbo hose, leaking intercooler, jamed turbo variable vanes, faulty boost pressure sensor.

You need to get the fault codes read, then search on here or vwaudiforum against those codes.

Hope you get it sorted.
