Started the car today and idle was low and engine was shakeing badly when stationary, took it for a run but not much power and not much noise from the turbo.
its a leon cupra 04 standard, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers

on reading similar stories the MAF was the suggested problem could this be the case and is it costly

Could be the MAF but don't think it would be as sudden as that as they tend to fail gradually. They are about £80 exchange.

It could be a coilpack, very common and would explain the low idle as it will be running on 3 cylinders. These are about £30 each.

It could also be a vacuum hose that has came off, again pretty common.

I assume the engine management light isn't on. If it is you need to read the fault code using VAG.COM

Good Luck

Sounds like coil packs to me...
