When that happened to me I immediately shut off the car, let it sit for 30 secs, restarted and it was ok. You may have to disconnect the battery or take it to a shop and download the codes. There is a way to look at the codes and you can go to Audi Forum or SJM Autotechnik for advice on how to do that.
