It sounds like a gasket leak somewhere, perhaps your intake manifold gasket.

SOunds v similar to mine - also 99 A3. Had trouble starting when warm.
Turned out to be a faulty coolant sensor, causing too much petrol to go into the mix. Replaced sensor and all fine.

Or another sensor - random stalls in mine were caused by a faulty engine speed (rpm) sensor.
