Engine died in traffic turns over won't restart
2nd owner 02 q tt 225, 105k, purchased from friend a year ago w 90k (got all receipts since new, car went to Audi for everything) including dealer tb at 45k, cranks over no metal on metal, so think belts good haven't verified.
Question do these turbos fail on intake side? Was under minor load approx 35 mph, just felt like turned key off then crank over ok but no start, always fires right up! Only other recent symptoms different exhaust note/leak up front and occasionally throws a P0171 code, some emissions valve issue, clear code engine idle blips engine runs fine w or w/o code
Btw in between houses(garages) so towed to storage unit
Thanks for any thoughts or input!

Little hard to figure out, but I think you are saying it won't turn over at all. If so, you need to download codes; sounds more like an ESS. Don't jump to the turbo on something this.

Hopefully it is not belts or the car is totaled

Not totaled if DIY
You need a complete top end overhaul since most valves and some pistons will need to be replaced. Indy shop charges typically start at $5K and go up from there. TB etc change interval is 60K miles OR 5 years, whichever comes first. Common knowledge on all the various Mk 1 forums but unfortunately most new owners don't check here until after the TB goes. Sorry it happened to you.
