Can you see any air bubbles in the clear plastic fuel line in the engine bay? If so you could have a tiny split in the fuel line sucking air in, or a clogged fuel filter. It's worth checking the fuel filter anyway as it could be fuel starvation. Also check the air filter in case it is clogged.
(Just my 2p, as we had the above problem in the summer while in france in our 1.9d, ours was a tiny split in the fuel line).

If there's air bubbles in there it's being sucked in somewhere and that will cause the symptoms you describe - ticks over OK, but loses power when you increase the revs. If the fuel filter looks OK, might be worth getting the clear pipe replaced just to rule it out. The split in mine was only just visible, right by the fuel pump.
