I have a 2011 Jetta that stalled out on me while driving the other day. Glow plug light started flashing and I had to turn the key all the way back and then forward again to start it. Got going and as I was speeding up on the highway it stalled again, Same solution fixed it. After stalling again it no longer would start by turning the key back and then turning it over, I had to pop the clutch while I was still rolling to get it to start. I will attach the photos if I can figure it out but I hooked up a code reader and it basically told me there is a problem with the fuel pressure. Called VW and they couldnt help much but told me to start by replacing the fuel filter. I did that and still having the same issues. Sometimes it is worse than other when trying to restart. Any thoughts?

when you replaced the fuel filter how did the filter and the bottom of the filter housing look with the filter removed ?? Metal shavings or rust flakes present ??
