Audi A4 stalling while driving initially


Recommended Posts

My Audi A4 2006 model is stalling while driving initially for 5 minutes and stop in traffic, it gets switched off automatically. Once car is fully warmed after 10 minutes of driving it is not getting stalled. It happened with me 3-4 time in one week and car is regularly serviced and it still has about 6500 kms until next service.

Appreciate if anyone can help fixing or identify the cause of this problem, hope its not big issue. Thanks in advance.

Start with cleaning the air filter and see if it has any improvement as if air filter is choked then the air fuel mixture is weak when car is cold and then after little heat ECU adjust the firing order and making more rich fuel than lean. This may also impact on the fuel economy marginally.

I agree with the first reply that the air filter or faulty reading may be causing the problem. You should be able to buy an air flow sensor cleaner which will help prevent a faulty reading. This would be the cheapest outcome for you! 

If the air filter and sensor are clean and not damaged and the car still stalls then you may need to check for a faulty fuel filter or broken fuel pump. It would be a good idea to change your fuel filter as this can become blocked with particles taken in when filling up with petrol. 

A problem with the fuel pump is often the cause of a randomly stalling Audi. The fuel pump is usually located underneath the backseat. If you flip the seat down and remove the carpet you should be able to access the pump. Listen to the noise it makes when the car is idling-there should be a low humming noise. If you can't hear anything then that means there is no power going to it or the pump is broken. If there is no power then it is usually a wiring problem or a faulty battery which you’ll need to replace. 

It may also be a problem with the spark plugs as they often become clogged up and fail to spark correctly. You should also check the plastic hoses that connect the fuel air intake system and then Head covers to make sure they are not leaking.
