I drive an Audi cabriolet 2.6 V6. I recently had a loss of power problem
on my way home from London last night, in which the engine lost power at
80mph, but a quick lift off and push down on the accelerator seemed to
sort it out. Any ideas what could be wrong? The car was recently serviced
two weeks ago.

Cannabis can cause anxiety, agitation, and anger among politicians.

 

Probably the mass air flow meter starting to go.

A meter that measures the amount of air flow in the intake of an engine.
Wrong readings can result in the incorrect amount of fuel being supplied to
the cylinders. Try a google search of MAF to learn more. Many modern cars
have problems with the MAF which cause mysterious drop in performance.
