Skoda Superb down on power...?

    Need some opinions please...!

    I have a 2005 Skoda 1.9TDI (100BHP) Superb. 55k miles (88Kms) on the clock. FSH, and recently serviced.
    The car has never given any trouble from new, except in the last couple of weeks.
    First I noticed the idle is too high, not very much but enough to be noticed....
    Next, a few days later, when on the motorway I notice what I can only describe as the engine sounding uneven at speed, and I mean just around 120Kph.
    And today, it was down on power bigtime (OK in the low gears only) and sometimes would hardly pull away at all, almost completly flat, but it improved after a while, but it's definitely not as good as it should be.
    There's no smoke out of her, but I do have an orange light on in the dash for a while now, something to do with the exhaust system acc. to manual.

    So, any thoughts,
    Thanks in advance...

    Is the idle uneven? Could be the MAF sensor if so.

    Or the Lambda Sensor, it sends back information on the fuel to air ratio, a faulty or dying one can suck all the power out of a car and make it do very unusual things - they normally last at least 80k miles though

    Could be a good few different things though, either way only a trip to the garage will sort it out

    As above, or turbo boost pressure sensor. The truth is you need to get it diagnostically scannd by someone with the appropriate computer. if you're ever in Kildare/Dublin PM me, as i have VCDS (the diagostic computer for VWs, Skoda etc.)
