Seems like my car has an in built 3 year timer. Just out of warranty and things start going wrong.
Last day or two I seem to have a real lack of power. The closest thing I can describe it to is having the brakes on, strangling the car. There is no torque low down and I'm having to rev it really hard to get anywhere. In high gears I'm having to change down to accelerate all of a sudden. I'm guessing it's probably related to a dirty/faulty MAF sensor/flow meter or similar The clutch seems ok, and I've just had the cam belt sorted (after major incident)
The turbo pipe is starting to wear a hole in it (again) so I'm having a new one fitted, but don't think it's this causing it this time. Everything seems to be connected ok re pipework, so any help would be appreciated.
I'll get it checked out when the new pipe is fitted, but can't get that done 'till next week.
