I am getting a thud but I have an engine light and it is a glow plug short to ground(burned out). Picking it up right now from my local garage 35.00 cdn. from Napa.

First guess is motor mount. Have you run VCDS to see if there are any stored faults?

Better check torsion setting. Probably to much injection advance along with a weak battery. I just finished cleaning and lubing my starter as things were starting to get dry inside but that was only because I had the transmission out. I think the starter would be still ok for another few years.

06 Jetta Hard Start (not long crank)
Note the brackets, but i don't care what he does with his timing as long as he avoids combustion( not timing) taking place at top-dead center which is his problem now. A new battery may solve the problem as i suggested( spin it faster, try jumping).
Yes I was referring to a hard start.
Referencing this as an example: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/multi/PD-adjust-Idle-TDI.htm

Ok, I had an idea and my garage confirms it. A leaking injector. I have the same problem and the glow plug fault that I had, had little to do with it.
Ordered two bottles of diesel purge.

BahamaTodd, were you ever able to fix your problem? If so, what did it take? My 06 is doing the same thing!
