Hi there,

I recently purchased a second-hand 2001 A4 2.4 V6 auto and was driving it to work this morning when it stalled on me at about 60km/h - a very disconcerting experience given that I lost the power steering and brakes!!

The car started fine but I noticed that after every time I took my foot off the accelerator and braked to come to a stop, the revs dropped below 1000rpm, which is obviously a bit weird. It didn't stall again though.

Does anyone have any idea what kind of problem I could be looking at, and what it will take to fix it? Maybe the MAF's on it's way out? Cost is an obvious issue! The car has a full service history and log books.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
