Octavia 64 Plate - 1.6 TDI - Feels sluggish / lower power / 'heavy'
Good Morning Guys A month or so i posted another thread about various lights on the dash - Replacement Battery & an Emissions Sensor were replaced and the car has been driving well until the last few days ( car done 90k) The car feels ( hard to describe) sluggish as it drives, 'heavy' almost as though not all the power is there? - I have suspected that a caliper / brakes may be sticking but not hot and cant see any evidence of this? Considered Turbo? Clutch ? seems to slow down quicker in gear but does freewheel out of gear? Really odd - does accelerate but feels like everything seems to take a ' bit more' effort for the car - No lights on dash I have read that a duff emissions sensor can cause this ? Ive got it booked into a local garage but not really sure what im telling them apart from above? Any advice welcome?

Update - The car had been working fine since the work but last couple of days the fan is again coming on ( new battery fitted 3 weeks ago) and stop / start isnt working. On saturday i drove around 60 miles mainly motorway and when i started the journey the fan was on ( still cold engine) but when i got to destination the stop start was working and fan off. Since Saturday it was working fine - no fan / stop / start ok - But then last night and today the issue has re-appeared. I am now thinking that the long journey charged the battery ? and over last few days its lost its charge as ive pottered about doing short trips? ( i havent used air con) - causing issue to re-appear? If the alternator was not charging the battery would that lead to a dash warning? or be picked up on the scan? Temp on dash all normal and running out of ideas. The battery was replaced and im now thinking maybe its a charging issue ? Cant keep spending money on maybe's and running out of ideas !! ( and money)

Yes they all open / close with the fob - this morning the passenger side is working. ? The only thing i can think of is the window was left open for minutes when it unexpectedly rained and i wiped the sill on window - Could water have got in the switch? is it easy to remove / clean ?

Morning All Update on the issue Garage fitted the Emissions sensor & a new battery around 10 days ago All the lights disappeared off the dash and after a test drive no errors were found on the scan All was seemingly well I have been to the coast and generally using the car as normal - Last couple of days the start / stop has stopped working ( no light on dash) & intermittently the fan is coming on ( no air con being used) again but now going off with the key when i stop? Could this be something draining the battery making the ' old' issues appear again a week or so later? Is the start / stop linked to the fan? Really frustrating as car is driving fine and last visit to garage cost me a few quid but seems like issues might be coming back? Loathed to keep spending money without further diagnosis? Any ideas guys? - Im taking car back into the garage for a scan but suspect it wont show anything - I dont have anything plugged in i.e. cameras / devices and used as intended? Struggling again

Air Con stopped but trying !! 2014
Hi everyone first post so be gentle My 64 plate 1.6 TDI estate has recently lost its air con i can hear the fan / s trying but there’s a restriction / stop to the air and the controls seems to have lost the ability to control any airflow - hot or cold I read about a fix ( two buttons on panel ) that seems to try and resolve it but doesn’t work I don’t have any real airflow but can hear the fan ( getting slower ) is there anything obvious I can look at / try ? also notice the re circulation button sometimes doesn’t stay lit when I’ve tried to put on air con effectively useless. Trying to avoid a large bill so any advice appreciated
