Hello,

I am having a weird issue with my car: It stops randomly. It doesn't make any difference if I am driving or just waiting at the light, it just stops. I am not sure if this makes sense but it does seem to happen more frequently when I am low on gas. Also if I stop the motor and turn it back on it starts right off.

P.S. I don't know much about cars so please don't assume anything :)

    This could be a fuel delivery problem, or it could be an issue with secondary ignition components, which is common on this car: http://repairpal.com/audi-a4-2002/common_problems

    Driveability problems like this are sometimes difficult to troubleshoot, so I recommend taking it to a good shop that knows Audis.
