Why is my Skoda Octavia losing power?

The question
Hi, my '05 Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI is giving trouble lately. It loses power and even cuts out, but starts up again. I heard they have a wiring loom problem. Could this be the problem?

Hi Danny,
We've spoken to a few experiences mechanics and they've not come across this problem, all saying that the 1.9 TDI engine in general is very reliable. It does sound like an electrical problem though, so the easiest way to trace its cause is to bring it to a mechanic that has a proper diagnostic system. It should pinpoint the issue. It may be just a sensor or loose wire or something.
Here's hoping!
