Gas flow is reduced

I noticed reduced gas flow on the jobs and the gas was intermittently cutting out so I recently changed to a new gas bottle. But this hasn’t helped. I can get both hobs lit but the flames are so small you couldn’t boil a kettle. Any ideas what could be causing this? Is it a pressure issue?

If I need to get the system inspected, what kind of business does this?

Thanks

Most likely the regulator is failing. They don't last forever. I would suggest replacing it, and the gas hose if it's not been replaced in the last 5 years. Simple DIY if you can change a plug.
Regulator and hose can be bought from Forum Shop.
If you want someone to do the work, get the parts and look for a Motorhome/Caravan dealer/service company. VW will be next to useless.

Thanks! I’ve ordered the parts.
 
Got the new parts. Could someone just verify that this is the correct assembly? Gok instructions are not clear.

1. Small rubber seal should be placed between valve and regulator as shown?

2. Olive nut goes into nut as shown?

Thanks
