Why does my Audi A3 lose power when accelerating?

I have noticed that when I accelerate in my Audi A3, I experience a significant loss of power. It's almost like the car struggles to keep up and there is a noticeable decrease in speed. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

This could be due to a faulty mass air flow sensor. It measures the amount of air entering the engine and if it's not functioning properly, it can result in decreased power. Consider getting it checked by a mechanic to see if it needs to be replaced.

Another potential cause could be a clogged fuel filter. A dirty or clogged fuel filter can restrict the flow of fuel to the engine, resulting in power loss. Try getting the fuel filter replaced and see if that improves the performance of your car.

Sometimes, a faulty spark plug can also be the culprit for power loss. If the spark plugs are worn out or not firing properly, it can result in a rough running engine and decreased power. Consider getting the spark plugs replaced as a regular part of car maintenance.
