Hi,
I have had this car for about 10 days and have only driven it a few times and it has been great. Today when I took it out I drove a couple miles. Parked for awhile, then got in and drove home. It stalled several times in last 8 blocks. One time I noticed that the Immobilized message came up on the dash, but not every time. (I only have one key for the car, so its is not an issue of two keys.) Each time it stalled I was able to start it right up again. Then it would go another block, or a few blocks, then stall again. I was able to get it home and park it in the garage. I don't know what to do next. If this sounds like a typical problem that this model of car has please tell me what to look for. (Today was over 90 degrees, in case heat is a factor). Appreciate any advice. I'm afraid to drive it. Thanks.

Suspicious of fuel pump problem. Could be water in fuel or a number of other things.
You need to get it checked for fault codes stored that may have vital info for knowing what is wrong.
Immobilizer key only prevents starting, once it is running that no longer is a possibility.

How many miles?
What model, 2.5 T or a T6?
