Well eventually it's been sorted by the 5th mechanic. The cam shaft had worn on one of the knuckles thus the loss of power. Hope this helps others with the same problem.

Cheers black_sheep. I'll definitely start checking that

Hi. It's been serviced every 10000 miles. But I'll definitely check it. Thanks

hi can I get some help. My octavia started to stutter when under load and accelerating and it got gradually worse especially under 1500rpm. I got the egr cleaned and it did improve for a while. Now it's back to stuttering and blowing black smoke. Recently EML came on which turned out to be the turbo which I got changed but performance was still same. Another mechanic then said intercooler was leaking so it was changed and egr valve was cleaned but again it's still stuttering and blowing black smoke Anybody out there have any other ideas what the problem could be. Could it be a fuel issue or air intake leaking.
