Re: A4 Engine cut out
Your dealer has a OBDII computer interface used to find error codes logged in
the system. It should yield information about the cause of the stalling.
You might want to check the Audi forums in your area to find individuals who own
the computer software to pull codes as well.

Re: A4 Engine cut out
Our 2000 A4 just did the same thing. The dealer said he could not find
anything wrong. Have you learned anything new? We are also worried
