Default b6 3.0 help

A friend of mine has a 2003 A4, 3.0, roughly 90k miles and recently the car has been shutting off at idle, usually it turns right on after, but occasionally it takes a few minutes... any suggestions i can recommend?

Does he get a CEL? If so, codes would help. Otherwise, it sounds similar to a crank position sensor / engine speed sensor on a 1.8t. I assume the 3.0 has a similar setup.

He can take it to Autozone or most auto parts stores and they can read the code for free.
