    Driving home today, I slowed down and the car chugged a lot sooner than it should have.

    Also I booted it in 2nd gear and only got as far as 2500 RPM for about 500m and then it started to accelerate again.

    Is it the clutch????

    I've had that before. Disappeared totally after a few days. probably dirty petrol.

    Thought it might have been fuel but I've just put fuel additive/cleaner stuff in it about 600/800 miles ago.

    Is there any way to physically get to the grime build up and scoop it out without pushing it through the engine Mr. Muscle style.

    It's a Corsa B 97-00 with the 1.0 EcoTec

    if it keeps doing it you should get a new set of plugs and a fuel and air filter fitted. if its a vw seat or skoda you could probably do with a set of plug-leads as well ! just saw its a corsa. they have a problem with the airflow sensor so it would be worthwhile getting it checked out if you've got a mechanic you can trust.
