    I had this problem.

    Turned out to be the rubber floor matt had slipped up under the little bolt you tighten to adjust your accelerator, and was catching and holding the pedal on full throttle.

    I might have read your post wrong but this is what happened to me

    Scared the hell out of me when it happened

    I just got the stanley knife and cut a little bit more out of the notch to accomodate the pedal

    Yep, could well be the floor mat.

    The TDi is a simple donk... If it isn't the floor mat, it's probably going to be the throttle cable or linkage on top of the injector pump.
