Hello,
I've seen that Audi 80's/90's have a fairly common problem where the engine just stops. I have this problem too. Could be at any time. Didn't happen all winter but has started a gain now the weather has warmed up. Happened regularly last summer. Had idle control valve changed by garage but this didn't make any difference. I don't think the garage knew what the problem was so just tried something! This could prove expensive!!
By the way the engine stops I think it must be an electrical problem. The engine just stops, there is no run on or stuttering.
I've come across several suggestions of what to look at - fuel pump relay, ECU relay (under the steering column?). I've never done any work on this car before nor have a manual, so can anyone tell me where these are?
Other suggestions are - clean the distributor cap, the air temperature sensor, a crack in the ignition module.
If anyone can tell me where the relays are or has any other suggestions then I would be very grateful.
Many thanks,
Simon.
