I have a 1.4 8v 206 and recently it feels as though there is something holding it back when i put my foot down, there is NO power at all compared to how it used to be. It is like this all the time, hot and cold.
Went for a drive last night and for a few seconds, it felt like it started juddering a bit as though it wanted to cut out, then went back to driving with no power again. It doesnt have a problem idling or starting, just doesnt have any power.
Does anyone know what could cause this?
Thanks

Is it in all gears or certain ones?

It's across all gears. Takes ages to get from 20-30 in 3rd compared to how it should be and REALLY struggles to accelerate at all from 40mph in 5th

And probably got used to the power it used to feel like so seems slower.

More than likely, 5th gear @ 40mph is not going to shoot off anytime soon.

It honestly sounds like your changing too early and that you've got used to it. Did you buy it 2 weeks ago?

So did my golf when I bought it, 2 weeks later I bought a tuning box which revamped it again and now it's 'slow' again to me to. Is this your first car?

I knew I'd get some comments about that, I don't drive round in 5th at 40 all the time, it was a reference point, I could have said 3rd or 4th at 30 as it still feels just as powerless

I've had the car 10 months, and it was my 5th car. I know something is definitely playing up, just not sure what
