Description of the problem	While driving on to a free way on ramp at about 25-30mph, the engine indicator come on and started to flash, almost immediately the car stall in the middle of moving traffic. I did my best to steer the car into a safe area with no power steering before it came to a complete stop. I tried cranking the engine a couple of times but it would not restart. This is a very dangerous situation to be in, with fast moving vehicles passing by at high speed, i was lucky enough that i did not get rear ended or cause an accident. Towed the car to audi of los angeles but it was already closed. They looked at it the next morning and found metal shavings in the diesel filter pod. They told me that the pump might gave out, they have to send fuel samples to get it analyze. This car is only a year old, how can the pump,fail already?
