[Vwdiesel] stalling, lack of power

[peter blake]

  Just now before I came on line to check my mail I had to start
the jetta and move it to allow for some snowplowing to occur. It had
sat for about 4 hours so I'm pretty sure it was good and cold.
It started right up and ran like there was never any problem.Hmmm?
Just before I came home I filled the tank, it had less than two
gallons in it.  So now I think the comments suggesting maybe a vacuum 
in the tank are most likely to be true. I'll keep u posted.
