Description of the problem	After driving my 2011 golf tdi for a couple of minutes in the morning, i was traveling around 25 mph and my engine suddenly stuttered and then died. I immediately pulled as far over as i could to let traffic go by. I tried to restart the engine several times, but to no avail. After about 5 minutes of sitting in traffic, i decided to just hold the key in the starter position until, after about 20 seconds, the engine was starting to catch and then it started again. The same day, in the evening, as i was driving home, i came across the same stuttering issue but i pushed the clutch in and just gave it more gas to keep the idle up; the stuttering then went away. I took it to the volkswagen dealer 4 days later and explain the situation, but they were unable to find any reason it could have happened.
