why does my Skoda Octavia lose power while driving

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
• Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and secure it with wheel chocks.

2. Inspect and Clean Air Intake

• Remove the air filter and inspect it for dirt or obstructions.
• Clean the air intake hose with an appropriate cleaner.
• Reinstall a clean air filter and ensure the intake connections are secure.

3. Check and Replace Spark Plugs

• Remove the ignition coils using a socket set.
• Extract the spark plugs with a spark plug socket.
• Inspect for wear; replace with new spark plugs if necessary (refer to manufacturer specifications for type and gap).
• Reinstall ignition coils and torque to manufacturer specifications.

4. Test and Replace Fuel Filter

• Locate the fuel filter and relieve fuel system pressure.
• Disconnect fuel lines (use safety goggles).
• Remove and replace the fuel filter.
• Reconnect the fuel lines securely and check for leaks.

5. Inspect Exhaust System

• Visually inspect the exhaust system for signs of damage or blockages.
• If a catalytic converter replacement is necessary, remove the exhaust pipes and the old catalytic converter.
• Install a new catalytic converter and ensure all connections are sealed.

6. Recheck Sensors

• Clean the MAF sensor with MAF cleaner or replace it if faulty.
• Test the TPS using a multimeter to ensure it operates within specified voltage ranges; replace if necessary.
