I purchased this vehicle recently and have noticed a distinct diesel smell when idling or driving at low speeds. Smells strong like leaking diesel fuel. The car idles very rough and sometimes stalls when coming to a stop. There is a very bad odor whenever I enter the vehicle. I am concerned that the car will stall and I might be in an unsafe position during traffic. I think the clutch might be defective. It sounds very loud. The vehicle has 260,000 miles. Diesls are supposed to run forever but I feel like I bought a lemon.

I own a 2000 vw Jetta 2. 0 GLS automatic. I was coasting down a hill and coming to a stop. I started using my breaks and all of a sudden with out any warnings chimes or indication my car completely shut off, breaks and steering wheel felt locked up and I almost crashed if not for my friend helping me move my steering wheel towards a side street to figure out what happen. Car would not restart. Only after an hour or so of waiting for a tow truck did my car start but was different. This happened to me 4 more times. Last time this happened I was on my way home from new job at around 2 am est I got lost and car stalls out on me with no indication and it does not just stall and stop it stalls and continues to roll until you loose momentum this is not safe. Thankfully this problem did not happen to me while on a high way this problem could cause serious injury or even death if ones car stalls and they can not control it. I took the car to my macanic and confirmed bad coil pack and crank position sensors.
I own a 2000 vr6 Jetta and I had to replace the ignition coil twice due to the defects of the ignition coil cracking. I read a complaint about this issue on this website back in 2005 and it is very expensive to replace the ignition coil. While I was driving the car, I lost power and it started to stall on me. I almost got into a car accident on the highway because I panic. I am a college student that relies on my car and I travel 300 miles to college. I noticed a lot of sparks by the ignition coil and I am very scared to drive my car because it might catch on fire. Please help!!!.
