Hi, i had a 92 jetta turbo diesel and it had the same thing. Am quite sure its normal. Diesels fire on compression and no fuel going to the engine when you lift off will slow down the car. You can use that to your advantage by lifting off the gas pedal well before coming up to aa red light and not using the brake pedal unless you really have to (much like compression braking in semi`s, saves brakes in the long run.
