Thank you all for your help! I may need some more to get the thing out of the parking lot tomorrow..

It was frozen completely, had to put it to a salamander for a few hours with a tarp on it and added Diesel 911 to tank and fuel filter. Started up like a champ and was running great today until my current issue. Thank you all for your help, this cold is killing me! Now it stalled on me at...

I will see if I can figure out the TDC, see if everything is up to snuff. That is interesting, because there is pretty much no smoke coming out. I did replace the fuel filter yesterday thinking it may be a gelling problem. I am also going to put some Diesel 911 in the tank to make sure...

About 10 seconds. To try to get it warmer in this cold weather I will sometimes turn ignition on and off a couple of glow plug cycles. They were replaced last summer so hopefully they are still good...

I now have about 186,000 miles on my '02 with the exact same start up issue. Started about 2 months ago and thought it was just a cold weather thing, but I still get it for the first 5-10 seconds - and definitely not cold weather because it's been hot here in Michigan this week! I do have to...

In Ypsi! This is awesome! I have been going to Eastern Michigan the past two years and the only way I was able to afford going to school is because of my '02 Jetta TDI :D I would love to come and join in on the fun!
