Check all your filters.sounds like air filter blocked.or could be dirty injectors.
As Haynes says.Excessive fuel consumption.---- Air filter element dirty or clogged. Preheating system fault. Incorrectly adjusted idle speed. Incorrect fuel injection pump timing. Brakes binding. Tyres under-inflated. hope some of this helps, if not give your main dealer a ring.
Have you just bought the car and think it's underpowered or was it more powerful before?
Hi,
No influence on fuel consumption, just makes startup more difficult, if not impossible. Once started, no effect. I'd add one : cracked intercooler pipe ?
