While driving on the road the car looses all power to everything electrical such as radio, speed ometer, odometer etc then the car shuts off. Put a new battery on because the old one had dead cell just yesterday but the problem still persists.
Have you had your alternator checked ?
If there is no charging from the alternator the "problem" will be solved as long as the new battery retaing its voltage. As soon as you start to use power you drain the battery. it's a bit like putting air into a punchured tyre ..... its still punchured . Could be your original problem ! ! Good luck

just clean and tighten your battery terminal connections, both positive and negative poles.

a lot of the vw cars don't have coded radios but in the case that you do loose it call your local dealership and have your chassis number and number plate and they should give it to you over the phone....but i dont think it will come to that..goodluck
SOURCE: 98 Jetta...stopped while driving
During this past winter, I was driving my 98 Jetta GL and it suddenly shut down in the middle of the road. It restarted but would only go a little ways before doing the same thing. I got it checked out and it turns out I had to get new fuses. I knew someone who could put them in it was very cheap to fix.

it could be noisy lifters... do you have clean oil in there oil is it black.
dirty oil will make volkwagens make lots of engine noise.
it also could be a spark arcing to metal. check to see all your spark plug wires are pushed all the way down and dont have cracks in them.

Either you have a broken wire some where from the speed sensor to the cluster or you have connector at fault, the one which hookup the dash cluster to the main wire bundel. Check the connector, maybe a pushed back pin !!
