So strange. My 1980 Rabbit Diesel has been running everyday with no issues. Tried starting this afternoon and I noticed the glow plug light didn't illuminate. Still waited about 20 seconds before turning the key. Car starts (starter whirls like normal, very quickly), but can't get the engine to...

Strange one here. GT TDi 140. A lot of times when i shift into 5th gear around 50ish MPH the car starts stuttering as if its misfiring or struggling to get fuel.
