I think Indy had a close call with death. The last time we went camping, she had trouble running uphills. I know -- really had trouble, not just normal VW trouble. We finally took her into the shop. I was hoping fuel pump. There guess - cyclinder head. She's running on 3 cylinders...
$1200 later and a new left cylinder head... she runs like a puppy.
The likely problem: heat. Lots of it. Over an extended time. Say ... a trip to Cabo? I suspect the oil leak we had on that trip led to this problem. We noticed a brief performance issue near Encinatas on the way back. But really noticed it on the way back from the desert on her next big trip.
No need to give you a new per mile estimate. However, even with this repair, the trip to Cabo should still be considered a success.
