2009 Volkswagen Jetta fuel system problems

My 09 tdi wagon with 27k miles broke down on a road trip one month ago. I was going 70 MPH on the dangerous california grape vine pass when I lost power suddenly. The "engine fault workshop" came on the dash screen. I luckily coasted to a rest stop on the busy and dangerous highway. To add to the danger we came to rest under the lebec wildfire of aug. 24th flying vehicles dropped flame retardant over us. We waited for the VW roadside assistance amidst the smoke and flame retardant dust for 2 hours.

30 sept 2011. While sitting at an intersection we noticed a rattling sound coming from our 2009 jetta tdi. Could also feel a slight vibration through the shift lever and steering wheel. Initial thought was an A/C clutch issue due to a squealing sound that started. Proceeded through the intersection and accelerated to approximately 30 MPH when the "engine fault workshop" light came on and the sound became very loud. We immediately pulled into a parking lot to investigate.
