Help on Acceleration problems

Featured Replies

Hi  

I bought a Skoda Fabia 2008 2 years ago and absolutely love it.

However, I have recently had a problem with acceleration and the garage have said it's my timing chain which I had replaced when I bought it so am skeptical as to this being the problem. I did a bit of research and it came up with ignition coils so I have replaced the spark plugs and the 4 ignition coils but am still having the problem.

I can't accelerate over 50mph and the fuel monitor seems to decrease quickly in 5 miles increments.

Is there something else I should try or could it actually be the timing chain.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Goodman Did you solve the problem? I think it could be clogged throttle body or faulty pedal sensor. You should also check timing chain again sometimes it is not fitted properly by inexperienced garage.
