Possible causes in order of likelyhood: water entering distributor or individual plug wires (through cracks) Have you changed your oil? Has there been any sign of water in it? (Water usually appears as a whitish sludge or drops). If so: Water getting into engine through: airbox air inlet manifold inlets between head and block (if improperly machined or installed) I had this same problem. Check the coil for cracks, there could be a crack near the spark plug connector and its making a spark jump outside the coil into the cable. Of course water will make it easier for the spark to jump out. I had to buy a new coil for about $50. Good luck! it could also be your distributor cap/ignition wires/rotor. if there is a bad seal on any of them, it will leak water, and shut the motor down. its happened to me a few times.

Any ideas with 1995 jetta diesel radiator cooling fan which runs all of the time even with sensors at rad and at engine block disconnected?

Volkswagen has a hardwired cooling system in a good number of their models, the cooling fan will run several minutes after driving. Especially if the engine is overheated, you can expect the fan to resume after it has initially shut off... So make sure to disconnect the battery before any repairs following running the engine.
