I have an Audi A4 that ticks over ok when engine started but when slowing down to turn corners or coming to a halt loses power and cuts out. Drives fine as you are going up the gears and driving along but cuts out when you stop. Indicators are also erratic whilst driving but work when stationary. Please help!

    Do you have any trouble codes? if not check the idle air control or the MAF sensor

    clean the throttle body. remove the big hose to the engine and use carb cleaner and an old tooth brush.
