my Skoda Octavia NFL (2020-Present) feels like it’s losing power what should I check

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the ignition is off.

2. Scan for Error Codes

• Use an OBD-II scanner to connect to the vehicle's diagnostic port.
• Record any trouble codes and clear them to see if they reappear after a test drive.

3. Inspect Air Filter

• Locate the air filter housing and remove the cover using a socket set.
• Take out the air filter and inspect for dirt and obstructions.
• Replace the air filter if it is excessively dirty or damaged.

4. Check Fuel System

• Inspect the fuel pump fuse and relay.
• Use a fuel pressure gauge to test the fuel pressure at the fuel rail; compare with manufacturer specifications.
• Replace the fuel filter if it is clogged or shows signs of wear.

5. Examine Ignition System

• Remove spark plug wires and inspect for damage or corrosion.
• Replace spark plugs if they are fouled or worn (typically every 30,000 to 50,000 miles).
• Test ignition coils with a multimeter for proper resistance; replace if out of specification.

6. Clean Throttle Body

• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical issues.
• Remove the throttle body by unfastening the mounting bolts.
• Clean the throttle body with throttle body cleaner and a soft brush.
• Reinstall the throttle body, ensuring proper torque specifications are met.
