I bought it from Halfrauds and included fitting and he whipped the old one out and the new one in within a very short time frame.

Now the issue - it feels like it is in limp mode
When idling, it rocks the whole car and when you drive and put your foot down it really struggles to surge forward, even when dropping down a gear or two....

Any suggestions will be greatly received as off on holiday on Friday and would prefer it to work correctly

Cheers in advance

I suggest looking checking for fault codes in ECU and possibly do basic setting. It should self adapt after power being disconnected but it might take a while. I always do basic setting myself after disconnecting battery.

Or it could be something not related to battery change.

VCDS scan should give should show if something is wrong.
