I've noticed months ago my Passat diesel car would randomly stutter and losing power and suddenly there was nothing happening when I put my foot on the gas. It's happened maybe 3 times but after a few hours was fine on long journeys. I was in stop/start traffic lights for 5 minutes last night and it made a sputtering nose and lost all power.
I put my food fully down on the gas and nothing was happening. Clutch is fine but I noticed a slight metalic/rubber smell during all this. It eventually moved along and I went to work and 6 hours later it was fine again going home. I had a MOT in late October so if I take it back I'm not sure what I'm going to ask them to do/look for? should I just tell them the problem and ask for a service?

Something similar was happening to me a few months back, not diesel, but a 2001 plymouth neon. Turns out my transmission kinda broke and the belts were rubbing funny. So, I ain't a mechanic but start with that?
I should add that my radiator got a small hole in it which didn't help matters.
