my Skoda Octavia NFL (2020-Present) has poor acceleration, what are the possible causes?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is off.
• Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid electrical issues.
• Gather all necessary tools and parts.

2. Inspect and Clean Air Intake

• Remove the air intake duct using a socket set.
• Inspect the air filter for dirt and blockages; replace if necessary.
• Clean the throttle body using throttle body cleaner and a soft brush.
• Reattach the air intake duct securely.

3. Fuel System Check

• Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
• Start the engine and monitor fuel pressure; it should match specifications (check service manual).
• If pressure is low, inspect and replace the fuel filter or fuel pump as needed.

4. Ignition System Inspection

• Remove the ignition coil cover.
• Inspect and replace spark plugs if worn (check gap and condition).
• Test ignition coils with a multimeter to ensure they are functioning within specifications.
• Replace any faulty ignition coils.

5. Verify and Replace Transmission Fluid (if necessary)

• Locate the transmission dipstick and check fluid level and condition.
• If fluid is low or burnt, drain and replace with the manufacturer's recommended transmission fluid.
• Recheck fluid levels and ensure the transmission operates smoothly.
