Vauxhall Meriva temporary loss of power/acceleration

Car: Vauxhall Meriva
Variant: 1.7 cdti se auto
Model Year: 2011
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
The problem is strange no warning lights or codes at all but what happens now and again is that the car has no acceleration at all regardless of how far down you press the gas pedal just no revs then all of a sudden it comes back . We have changed the MAF thinking that this might be the issue and it was fine for a week and then it happened again so we are confused and have no clue what the issue is. Any help or ideas please

Changed the fuel filter ? checked the TPS ( throttle pedal position sensor ) and plug , wiring at throttle body ?

Fuel filter has been changed. I've read that there are people with the same issue. The fuel gage fluctuates all the time so I never know how much fuel I have, others have recored the same issue.
Have a read of this. https://www.vauxhallownersnetwork.co.uk/threads/vauxhall-meriva-b-power-loss-fault.836815/

Nope, it's not happened since. My car is delayed in power 100% of the time though, so I fail every time I need to pull out fast. I just deal with it now.
