Default All those communication codes from satellite modules...

point me to think the ECU isn't talking CAN anymore, or it's losing communication intermittently. COuld be a few things:

1) Wiring
2) ECU itself
3) CAN ground or termination resistors in the network (wherever Audi puts them).

ECT failure should not cause an engine stall (I had one fail). ABS sensor won't cause a stall (you just lose ABS, but still have brakes). The power supply terminal is the only unknown that could be the culprit. I've never seen that previously.
