I recently had my 2000 VW beetle manual in the shop to get vacuum hoses, belts, and harmonic balance among other random parts replaced. NO ACTUAL WORK ON CAR HARDWARE. I drove the car for about 2 hours and it was great, she purred like new and was amazingly powerful. By the end of my 5 hour drive, I had no power and could no go about 30 MPH, even had to stop on the highway. I have read things about the EPC light going on and whatever, but I have not had that light appear. I am at 199K miles and she has not ran in two years. Just got her up and going. What would cause this loss of power randomly after being so perfect?
