my Skoda Octavia NFL (2020-Present) has a delay in acceleration, what could be wrong?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.

2. Clean the Throttle Body

• Remove the air intake duct connected to the throttle body using a socket set.
• Use throttle body cleaner and a soft brush to clean the throttle body surfaces.
• Reattach the air intake duct securely.

3. Check and Clean the MAF Sensor

• Locate the MAF sensor along the air intake.
• Disconnect the electrical connector and remove the sensor.
• Clean the MAF sensor with MAF cleaner (do not use throttle cleaner).
• Reinstall the sensor and reconnect the electrical connector.

4. Inspect Fuel System

• Use a fuel pressure gauge to check the pressure at the fuel rail.
• If pressure is below specifications, check the fuel pump and fuel filter for blockage or failure.
• Replace the fuel filter if necessary and ensure the fuel pump functions properly.

5. Test Drive and Reset Systems

• Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
• Start the engine and allow it to warm up.
• Perform a test drive to check for improvement in acceleration.
• If any error codes were found and cleared earlier, verify that they do not return.
