Title: Loss of Power after service
Post by: davethediver on 13 October 2010, 23:11:39
Hi guys and gals not really sure how to explain this but my car seems to be a bit down on ommph of lately  :-? :-?

Serviced the car just before the MOT a couple of weeks ago and cleaned the throttle bodies. Has stopped the spanner light coming on and seems to be running a lot smoother, BUT it seems to have lst some power.

The Mrs drove it yesterday and commented that it seemed like she had to give it a bit more welllie than normal (drives her car like miss daisy and mine like a 17yr old >:( ) I have noticed the fuel consumption has been a bit higher than normal>

Anybody any ideas what could be up with it or have caused the loss of power??

TIA Dave
