[Vwdiesel] stalling, lack of power

[peter blake]

   OK! Fired right up this morning, temp about 30 fahrenheit.
Ran like a champ all the way to work. I didn't hear the whoosh
when I filled up because it wasn't a self serve station. My
plan now is to drive until the symptoms reappear and then loosen
the cap to see if that is in fact the culprit. Thanks for the
help. Peter
