Yep, I was left standing in the parking lot with a clutch pedal in my
hand, scratching my head and wondering what happened.  8] 
I waited until traffic had died down then drove it home using the two
pedal out of three method.

Swap the battery, a little squirt down the spark plug holes and the
vroooom! the Jetta is back! (It's destined to go the Ex-wife.)

On a Scirocco On Topic Note: I noticed the (A2) Jetta was feeling a lot
peppier than the A2 GTI. I think the Jetta has a wide ratio trans w/
1.8L  8:1 compression, the GTI a 1.8L 10:1 w/ Knock Sensor & a short
ratio trans. 

Since the GTI's block (but not trans) is destined to power the Mk1
Roccomobile until an Audi 2.0 shows up, I need it to be putting out it's
all. I don't yet have the later Bentley but I'm wondering if there is a
way to determine if the timing is being retarded _all_ the time?
