Re: car cutting out
Have you run VAG-COM on it to see if there are any faults with the engine? It could be a huge variety of things... crank position sensor could cause the problem, as could a dodgy fuel pump...

Re: car cutting out
Will the ht leads not cause this too??? Or does that just make it misfire...
Re: car cutting out
If the problem is intermittant then an HT lead short would just give a missfire on one cylinder..
The coilpack could be having a spaz and be dying though...
We need more info... like what warning lights and what the OP was actually doing when the engine died etc

Re: car cutting out
Faulty battery or a dead alternator sound like the cause.
