Unfortunately we don't have specific info on your vehicle because it is not offered here in the USA. However, this sounds like one of two issues. First, it could be a fuel related issue. I would start with checking fuel pressure.

Here is a guide that talks about this:

Second you could have a vacuum leak. Here is a guide about this issue:

I would suggest starting with these two and going from there. If you prove them out then I would check for codes and see if there is a possible sensor issue.
