Hi all,

While stopped a traffic light this morning the engine started running
rough and then simply died.  I attempted to restart it without
success.  I had just driven 50 miles without any issues.  

The car has 114K miles and has had the timing belt changed as well as
all the schedule maintenance performed.

Can anyone give me any idea what could be the cause of this problem ?
It is at a dealership now and I would like to get an idea of what I am
in for.

thanks in advance,

jim

If it died slowly I would guess a bad fuel pump or its relay. still could be
many things.

If your car is at the dealership, I can tell you what you are in for: You will pay about 3x what a capable independent would charge.

fwiw, you really need help properly configuring your newsreader.

Ask your room mate...

 While this is true, it may take an independant 3 x longer to diagnose the fault, and 2 x longer to fix the problem, somtimes it's worth paying Audi to fix your car, especially when it just dies.

 Servicing etc I would take to a ind anyday
