Can anyone please help with this.

Octavia TDI, 48000 on clock, 4 years old.

Starting fine, running fine most of the time but.....

twice this month lost acceleration, would not pull 65mph, no warning lights showing on dash.

Stop engine, started engine, all ok again, two weeks later same thing.

Fuel filter new, air filter new.

Can you get near anyone one with VAG-COM to read codes?

Could try my tame Skoda dealer somrtime this week.

As K says, sounds like MAF to me as well.

Infamous vacuum tube? Mine was sporadic till it really went south.....

I would agree I think MAF too but if it is I would think it would log a code.

As it's intermittent would it maybe be a loose connection?

Might be easier to check before buying.

Sounds exactly the same as my parents had with their Golf TDI 90. That cost

Time to post it over into the Ask A Tech I would think.

I watched 'Wheeler Dealers' last night. They were working on a Range Rover. Same symptoms. Replaced the MAF, runs perfectly now. Try that. They are expensive I think!! :(
