When you say "Power" is it just not as it used to be? or is it revving stright up to high revs and not getting faster?

if it;s the first, and just slow accelleration, I'm no expert, but maybe the Air filter, or Air Mass Meter? had a similar issue in my Golf.

Sounds like a clutch from that, but it would also happen in lower gears at high revs?

If it is a clutch problem dont keep doing it else you will need a new flywheel
