Why is your car lacking power or accelerating poorly?

At Mario Garage in Cagnes-sur-Mer, we often hear the same concern from our clients:

> "My car feels like it has no power. Especially when going uphill or when I press the gas pedal — it struggles."

This isn’t just annoying. A loss of power is often a sign that a critical engine or transmission component is starting to fail.

The most common causes we see in our workshop:

* Clogged or faulty turbocharger

* Dirty or blocked fuel filter

* Clutch or gearbox problems

* Engine sensor malfunctions

* Jammed EGR valve

* Worn or dirty fuel injectors

Sometimes it starts with a slight feeling that "the car isn’t pulling like it used to," and it gradually gets worse.

What symptoms you might notice:

* Your car struggles to climb hills

* Slow response when accelerating

* Jerking or vibrating while driving

* Louder engine noise than usual

* Engine warning light turns on (or sometimes not)

If you recognize any of these signs, don’t wait. The longer you delay, the higher the chance that other components will be affected — and the repair will become more expensive.
