not up to speed on diesels but could the catalytic convertor matrix have broken/be blocking causing exhaust back pressure issues? happened on my petrol alfa many years ago which felt utterly asthmatic when trying to accelerate

Another reason for taking the whole assembly off the car and inspect it 

in my case going under the car and tapping the cat you could hear/feel rattling consistent with the matrix being in bits.

Hi well if you read the Intro to this  Post your see its been to SKODA been to Diesel  Specialist I'm not sure what more i could do the Turbo has been Checked

Any Ways its going back to a tuning Specialist today in the Last Hope they find  out what's wrong or Broken  so i will make a Final Post here on the Results as if it don't get Fixed today I have the Car Sold and Cut my Losses

until it Broke it was the Most Fun Car and still Love Skoda VRS Thanks for all the reply's Guys

I would not call Skoda a  VAG specialist or a diesel specialist. They only plug a car in and check fauly codes then follow a manual. If this go to page etc.  Hopefully the tuning specialist will have a rolling road to do some live logs and see what is happening.

Sadly if you sell the car it will be at a reduced cost given the car is not running well. Most places will take the car for a test drive and it will be obvious it doesnt drive correctly.

Hopefully you will get it sorted 👍

@anthoney any update on this?
