This could be a plethora of things. Could be as simple as a fuel pump fuse, sensor unplugged...or could be catastrophic such as a timing belt failure. The first place to start is by having an Audi dealer or Independent Audi shop scan your A6 using a factory VCDS scan tool. It will show the technician all the various error codes that your cars computer (ECU) is finding. The 2.7T is a fun, but can be a challenge to maintain depending on its prior ownership history. It's best to find a independent Audi shop that has a good deal of experience with 2.7T powered cars (C5 A6, Allroad, B5 S4). An enthusiast-oriented Audi shop has likely accumulated quite a bit of experience dealing with those platforms and will be able to diagnose and repair issues faster than the dealer. More recent Audi Dealer techs do not have much, or any experience working on cars that old. Where are you located? I might be able to recommend a shop
