I had it plugged in and read for codes yesterday, it had no codes on it but there’s clearly a problem. I had the coil packs and plugs done 18 months ago so plugs are probably due, but I think the engine warning light came up when they failed last time

I own a 2008 skoda octavia vrs 2.0 tfsi, I’ve owned it 5 years, its by far the most reliable car I’ve ever owned and I honestly love it! Recently it’s developed a problem sometimes when I accelerate, it just kind of stutters at 3000rpm then again at 4000 and by the time it’s got to 5000 rpm it’s just a constant struggle for it to accelerate and the sound from the exhaust is terrible. If you drive it normally you wouldn’t notice it’s got a problem it’s just under hard acceleration and it’s not all the time but it doesn’t take long to start playing up. A bit of history on the car, I never did any mods to it untill this year, the air box fell apart so I brought a Revo 3.5” intake, then the exhaust silencer snapped off so I brought a Jetex resonated cat back exhaust, then decided to get it mapped. Scine it was mapped I notice when I pull up sometimes it has irregular idle and bounces between 700 and 1500 rpm, never really caused any issues tho. About a month ago I had some de carbon work done, the inlet manifold wasn’t removed or cleaned he just sprayed a vapour into the intake. I noticed from the next day onward it just didn’t start as quickly as I did pre-decarbon….some times it’ll start for two seconds sounding ruff then cut out, (it’s never done this before the de-carbon) you start the car again and it sound fine and starts as it should. I have it to a garage yesterday to read the error codes and it was clear with no faults. If anyone has any ideas, Ide really appreciate it cheers
