Start with the basics, check the plugs for oil and their condition  :y

Any fault codes? Will need a code reader  :)

Poor running on Gas and Petrol, my guess is the diss pack, but you really need a code reader to check, if it is only buy a Boche and not a cheap replacement....... :y :y

No brake assistance is split or disconnected vacuum hose.

A split hose will also upset the fuel/air mix and cause the other symptoms.
