<P>I had just purchased my westy, and was driving it a reasonably long distance home. When I complained to the local mechanic about the loss of power on occasion, he checked things over and found that I had the Air Cooled spark plugs in my 1.9 waterboxer. He claims that should cure it. Have not had any similar problems since. (knock on wood)</P>

<DIV></DIV>That's what I thought too... has only happened once thankfully, but I will
<DIV></DIV>have it checked out. Engine is very strong and have had no other
<DIV></DIV>problems... compression check a year ago was 150 straight across. No
<DIV></DIV>noticeable difference since then. Thanks for the tip though... will do the
<DIV></DIV>check soon.
