Your car is losing power
If the car no longer accelerates as it used to, note when you first felt the change. If power drops suddenly and you cannot drive safely, pull out of traffic when safe and follow the owner’s manual. Avoid accelerating to make the fault happen again.
When the loss of power happens
Tell us if it happens on hills, only when warm or all the time. Note any warnings, hesitation or exhaust smoke. An electronic limit on engine power, faults in the air, fuel or exhaust systems, or a transmission issue can feel similar from the driver’s seat.
When internal checks might help
If other findings suggest a cylinder is not sealing, a compression test may help. Loss of power on its own does not show that the engine needs dismantling.
What to tell us first
Describe the change, when it happens and any checks already made. Those details help us decide where to start with engine diagnostics.
