Default 2005 a6 jus shut down

Wasup everybody! Jus had to vent! Yesterday I picked up my Boi so we can go to work and while I'm sitting @ da light, da car jus shuts off. I tried to start it back up......nothin! Jus a tickin noise! Had it towed to da dealer(after hours) last night. Told them this morning what was going on and left them the keys. They called me back an hr later n said it was my battery. Kool they replace da battery n I was good to go. Went n paid for it and started it up. Fired right up! Went home and got a ride back there this afternoon, and picked it up. While I'm on da xpressway approximately 3 miles away, my speed started decreasing and it was hard to steer. Car has shut down again. Now I'm sitting here waitin on a tow! Pissed da F&@/ off! I'll keep y'all posted on what they find!

Be interesting to see. However, I doubt if you have a 2005 A6. All 2005 automatics were A4s.

Sounds to me like it's the alternator. A car will run with a dead battery, but not for long with a bad alternator.
