The car is a 1996 1.8 petrol xantia estate.
It went into the garage for an oil leak and new exaust, and now it runs like a dog. It starts ok, but when you accelerate off it really bogs down and starts spluttering, you need 1st gear to get up hills. The garage took the exhaust off again to see if it was blocked or something, made no difference. the garage are scratching their heads as nothing theyve done should effect how it runs, they tried new plugs and looked for fault codes on the ecu, no joy.
Anyone got any ideas or suggestions of what to try next?

Surely its up to them to sort it out ?
Clearly the problem wasn't there before, so they must have inadvertantly disturbed something. Perhaps a hose come off the MAP sensor, or something like that...
