Car feeling very sluggish

[Niall]

All this 1.8 slagging...

You realise the XU7JP4 is what they use bored out to 2.0l in the WRC cars, ally block, steel liner... It's a MUCH superior block to the GTi6 block IMO. It's only the head that's pants as stock, but they've got masses of meat on them for porting them out...

Or - oh look, how convenient, the Mi16 1.9 head is 83mm bore too...

Yeah! What he said!


Gave it a ragging up the road yesterday when it was cold (bad I know but I wanted to see if it made a difference) and it was still the same so I don't think it's a temperature problem.
Any other ideas guys?
Might wait till payday and give it a good service and wack some redex through it.
If it was a blocked fuel filter, it would be quite rough would it not? Just a thought.
