rapidly losing power on my 182 help needed

[hattie21]

hi,
so very new to clio's, bought a 54 plate 182 last week and today all of a sudden it has been losing power and idling at 500 rpm. put my foot down completely and still nothing then all of a sudden slams into life for a few seconds. Gave it a blast up the motorway and it seemed to start running normally again but have no idea why it could be doing this, my first though was lambda sensor but isn't running at no power all the time. Have notice that the light below the left indicator light comes on sometimes not sure what the light means though. Car has had no previous problems like this before i bought it either.
Some advice needed ):

light under the left indicator is traction controll. (i think) is it turned off ? also is the ABS light on ?

 

[hattie21]

ah thank you that would make sense from the picture on it, i have no idea tbh, it's come on a few times then goes off again! nope the ABS light isn't on, the serv light comes on when the traction control one does but that's it.

 

[Aaron182.]

yeah service light comes on with most of the lights.

just quickly check that all the ABS rings are still their.

i cant think why else the traction controll would be on.

it's quite juddery when i brake but thought that might be down to the fact it's had all round new discs and pads and they were maybe bedding in but will get the ABS checked now as well at some point, thanks

 

[Aaron182.]

yeah your brakes definatly should NOT be juddery. even on brand new pads and discs :/

 

[hattie21]

yeh was starting to think it's something wrong been a week of driving it and still doing the same not looking forward to this garage visit :/ thanks for the advice though

Did you buy it from a dealer mate?

 

[hattie21]

no not from a dealer private sale from a friend

Spacers missing from behind the rear discs,not torqued up correctly, non genuine discs ,incorrect abs rings...the list goes on

Get it seen to asap by someone who knows what they are doing/on about
