My RS6 died today. So far I'm baffled.

[DaveyKid]

Sitting at a traffic light with my wife and the car just dies as though someone reached over and shut off the ignition. No warning, no horsing around, cool day. The car is bone stock. Here are the codes I pulled but I don't think it's going to tell me much other than maybe a good guess until I can get it in to the dealer tomorrow.

It cranks and cranks and cranks but won't fire over. Anyone want to take a stab at it? (Other than the first code, Brake Boost Vacuum Syatem, which know of)

I would guess that the common connection to the injectors is broken. (Broken wire, or fuse, check the fuel injection fuse first) .

...or the distributor cap has gone caputt.

Needs a new fuel pump. That's it. Not bad all things considered.

Good news, nothing too major... :0:

Aside from my initial transmission issues, this car has treated me very well.
