Low Power or Poor Acceleration: Check This Before You Worry
A sudden drop in power is alarming, but the cause is often the simplest thing on the car.
The symptom
Overtaking or merging feels noticeably sluggish.
What's causing it
A dirty air filter is the most common and simplest cause. If that's not it, the car may have entered 'limp mode' — a protective state triggered by a sensor fault.
What to do
Check and replace the air filter first. If the problem persists, an OBD scan will show the exact sensor fault behind limp mode.
Scan with GetAutoSure to confirm whether it's limp mode.
