A4 2.6 Avant Engine dies

Sparky_clarke 18 April 2005 22:31:57
 I've got a 1997 A4 2.6 AvantВ (petrol) with 52k on the clock. It's
been dealer maintained since I got it 5 years ago. Now I seem to have
a major problem В– starting from cold and after 2 to 5 minutes driving
the engine just cuts out with complete loss of power. Then I can't
start the car again without constant turning the ignition for about
10-15 minutes. This has happened several times now and in increasingly
dangerous places В– i.e. at traffic lights, major junctions.В I placed
the car with the VW/Audi dealer and there was no fault shown on the
diagnostics. I'm putting the car in again with the dealer this week
but they say that if it doesn't show up on the tests there's not much
they can do until I В‘demonstrate' it happening. I just think the car
is very unsafe to drive especially around busy a City. Can anybody
offer me advice (I'm not technical)В as I'm getting pretty desperate.
Thanks, Nick

 Fuel starvation? Pump, crap in the pipes, etc?

Does it turn over but just not fire? Are you getting spark in the plugs?

It turns over no problem from the start - just 5 to 7 mins in and then
dies. Cleaned the Coils as the AA (UK) said that may be the problem
but still does it. Anyone else with A series with larger engine had
this problem:?­ BTW it's an automatic.
