Problem with '96 106 Escapade

Hi!

I've started to have a few problems with my 10 year old 106 in that it
seems to lose power when I first change gear and put my foot back on the
accelerator. It's only just started doing it but is becoming quite
annoying.

When I change gear or when I try put power back down to accelerate it
seems to take about 5-10 seconds before I get a response during this
time it freels like the breas are on - which I know they aren't!

This isn't affecting normal driving just when I change gear it takes
it's time to respond and put power down which if I'm going uphill can be
a bit of problem.

It's also started to get quite "squeaky" - but not all the time,
sometimes when I start the engine and then if I change down into second
it'll squeal - I'm preseuming that this is the fan belt as it's probably
due for a change. It doesn't squeal when the loss of power occurs
thoughgh - could the fan belt be anything to do with the loss of power?

If anybody had any ideas they are welcomed - I'd like to get the car
back running as it was rather than get a new one as I love the car and
for a 10 year old it's only got 56k on the clock!

Cheers!

sounds like a blocked vac pipe

 

Is there anyway I can check this myself or is it a suck through teeth
