Hi all

I have just recently got my self a octavia vrs 1 the car has been running fine no problems what so ever until today I've got the car booked in for cam belt water pump change n full service as I was driving back from the garage I felt the car started to judder (like I was running out of fuel) I put my foot down and there was nothing from my turbo and the engine felt like it was struggling until it reached 3500 revs any ideas on why this could be happning

Try unplugging the MAF sensor and give it a go. 

Coil pack by the sound of it.

Although could be any number of things. You need it scanned before you go any further.

Flash92 I removed the MAF sensor still no change I can feel the power there just not getting it if you know what I mean

David 8 think I will get it scanned before I move on n try anything else don't want to fiddle too much and make it worse

I don't mind spending time and money on it as it a little project for me and my son so if you have any tuning/styling tips as my understanding of engines is limited that would be great thanks

Full service you say? What did they do to it? Problems started after the service right?

If the problems happened after the full service and cam belt change I'd take it back to the garage and get them to sort it out.
