Just not right after a service!
Hi all, bit of an open question but here goes.
2005 wrx 300 (with prodrive) 21k miles. Had the cambelt done last year as soon as i bought the car at 16k miles and had a service. Car has run fabulous for the last 5k miles/12months. Quick and very responsive on the throttle, almost like a new car. I was very happy!
Went to my regular and trusted independent garage in edinburgh for a standard service. Got the car back and straight away it didnt feel right. Just a lack of sharpness and immediate response on the throttle. Like a car that is twice the age. Totally lost for ideas, so what have i done.
Been back to the garage, oil level is fine, diagnostics are ok, filters were decent quality, spark plugs checked and ok, filled up the 97 ron been for a good burn. Top end performane is pretty good and the problem less noticable.
Help!

Dont know to be honest, it will be decent quality oil though. I was thinking of changing air filter then disconnecting the battery (for ecu purposes) just in case?
