Hi All,

Just back from a jaunt along the motorway for 20 to 25 miles and it runs fine and no signs of any issues when it started or stopping at lights etc.

It's a petrol car 1.2 so I think 1198 cc

It was taken to Arnold Clark where I've had it done the past 2 years for friends and family discount.

Its really strange starts fine, revs about 800 then drops to like 200 to 300 like it's trying to catch it's cut out once but then restarted fine and then no issues.

Sitting at 70 - 75 miles on the M8 revs were running slightly higher than I have noticed before just over the 3000

thanks for all your suggestions i will get a bottle of addictive to pop in the fuel tank and see if it helps

If its a 3 cylinder 1.2 then it may be the same issue I had with my 2010 polo - misfiring on one of the cylinders causing the lost of power. Any smell of petrol on first start up? Also worst during cold starts than warm. VW diagnosed it to be the cylinders which again for the age of car and low milage points to bad workmanship. Google it Polo 1.2 misfiring
