Finally got back the 90 Golf 8V back from the shop. It stopped
running one day when around a corner I stepped on it and it died with
a whirring sound. The shop replaced the timing belt, water pump,
battery, and starter. $750 and a week later, it's running again.
Yes!

When I got it home I replaced the oil, filter, and plugs for good
measure.

Anyway, it still stalls (dies) occasionally at stoplights when I put
in the clutch and the revs drop.

Suggestions?

Vacuum leak somewhere. Mine used to split the grommet between the cam
cover and the breather filter on the top. About £3 from the dealers.
