Default Engine stopped - please help

My 2005 Audi Quattro 2.5 tdi Auto was running perfectly when suddenly, at quite high speed going uphill the engine cut out without warning. No hiccups, no misfiring , just stone dead.
No warnings appeared on the dash though when I was trying to restart I saw the glow plug light flashing at one point.
The rescue guy squirted something into the air intake and it started for a few seconds then nothing. After being carried home I checked the fuel pump fuse then loosened a pipe on the fuel filter and found that fuel is flowing when ignition is on but with no amount of cranking will it even try to fire.
Any advice / guidance will be greatly appreciated -- thanks in advance

Default oh I forgot to mention

I forgot to mention I have run VAG.com engine controller which did not produce any fault codes . The car has done about 140k miles and had a cambelt change a couple of years ago. Prasent usage of the car is very light as I am now retired.
