Hi everyone, I’m in need of some help. I bought a Seat Leon Fr 2.0 petrol yesterday. FSH, 94k on the clock and one owner from new. The cars not been run for a while and was running on fumes when I picked it up. On the journey back on the motorway I put my foot down at 60mph when I got to 70-75 the power just stopped, I kept at the speed but couldn’t go faster. Then it splutted a bit and picked up like a rocket, it did this twice. I put it down to not running for a while and the **** it would have dragged through being empty.
But today it’s doing it all the time, it’s like it temporarily goes into limo mode but only for 30-60 seconds. But every time you do 80mph for more than 2-3 minutes it happens. No lights come on the dash. It cures itself.

Any ideas?
