Hello can anyone give me some advice please, i have a 54 plate 1.9 tdi 90bhp octavia. Most of the time it runs excellently however on cetain occasions it has a power loss and will not go above 3000 revs or above about 65mph, it is due a service and also it needs the cambelt changing. It might be coincidence but it seems to play up when the fuel is getting low or i might be clutching at straws!! Thanks..

Sounds like it's dropping into limp mode. Get the garage to do a code read. With luck a fault code will have been logged which will give you a clue. Common faults for this are MAF sensor and turbo.
