Skoda Kodiaq power loss when accelerating

My 2017 Skoda Kodiaq, gasoline engine, 158874 km, exhibits reduced power and jerks when accelerating. Suspect combustion chamber deposits are causing knocking combustion. Any thoughts?

I might have encountered something similar with my Kodiaq. Was there any noticeable smoke, particularly during acceleration? Have you checked for error codes? It could be related to ignition timing or even piston slap, though I am no expert. It might be worth investigating potential engine tuning issues as well.

Smoke is present when accelerating, and an error code is stored. Could you elaborate on the engine tuning?

Given the smoke and error code, it seems highly probable. I recall experiencing comparable symptoms. I would suggest taking it to a workshop to have the combustion chamber professionally cleaned. Detonation might be occurring.

Appreciate the confirmation. Took it to the shop; combustion chamber cleaning sorted it. 425€. Runs like new.
