My 87 VW Westy lost power after about a six hour drive, only able to go
about 50-55 mph.  The Mechanic has checked most of the sensors and cannot
find the problem yet.  His next steps are to start replacing things, check
for exhaust obstruction, pressure test etc.  Anyone ever experience this
problem before?  Please let me know, Its already cost $180 just for
investigating.


Perhaps a related problem-It would also not start when it was cold and he
found that the oil pressure relief valve was stuck, which he fixed (not part
of $180!).  Yikes!  I've only owned this for four months and it's the third
time in the shop!
