Ok thank you for your input I do appreciate it. I'm off to bed now. Ill get it tested and see what happens BTW do you recommend local garage or Skoda dealer

It would stop at 2500 religiously and it would not move up at all, it literally feels as if I'm being pushed back but then again I accelerate and it then happens so I guess that's why it feels as if I'm being pushed back. When you say lag do you mean you stroke the pedal a bit and hear the engine revs in like a second later and not instantly?

What do you mean the cat was knackered

Hello I'm new here. Ive got a Fabia classic 1.2 petrol, and recently started noticing strange loss of power. It happens when it's hot and cold so weather is not the issue. As I'm driving and it hits 2500 rpm it's almost as if the engine dies for a few seconds mostly up to 10 seconds, I would have my foot welded to the floor but no response whatsoever, changing gear up or down usually solves the issue for the time being but it's quite annoying. I've only observed it in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear. I've looked online for a while and could not find anything similar, usually with other cars you have to to turn the engine off and when you turn it on is fine. So I wonder what it could be maybe a slight slipping clutch (which I doubt since at that sort of rev I'm getting ready shift up)? Faulty sensor somewhere or ecu problems. To me it seems like a mystery as it doesn't happen all the time some days I can drive 100 miles and wouldn't feel it and oncsome short trip and it happens, but it also happens sometimes on longer trips. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
