Anyone had the experience of their A3 TDi 170 ('06) cut out on them? Driving back with the wife and kids tonight, came up to a round about around 10mph, dropped into 2nd to pull away and had no power... Dash just showed battery icon. Didn't feel or notice it cut out until I tried to pull away.

Started again fine and was OK all the way home.

It's only ever done this 1 other time. Last year driving down a road doing 30MPH and again just cut out with no warning.

Bit stumped for ideas really. Hard to troubleshoot something thats so intermittent. :think:
 
If it shows the battery icon, it may have lost battery power for an instant. Perhaps you should check carefully all battery connections for tightness and corrosion, plus of course the main battery grounding point. Also take a look at the engine fuse box and check for loose fuses, burnt or broken wiring harness etc. Good luck.
 
Had the same issue on my A4, local Audi garage have traced it to a faulty cam position sensor. Major strip down job to replace though.
