My 2005 audi A4 1.8 L is starting to stall out while driving( its an automatic with autostick but I usually only drive in automatic). It has happened at least a dozen times in the 2 weeks Ive had the car. Yesterday I was driving no problem doing about 60 mph and all of a sudden the car stalls out and I have to pull off the road and use my emergency break. What is causing my car to stall out?

Not sure here as a modern motor vehicle is a complicated piece of machinery ,without reading the OBDII and having a drive my self its very difficult to give a answer as you no doubt appreciate,Now your problem could be anything from a fuel pump in the tank going down to a burnt or corroded connection on anything from a sensor to the fuel pump itself .Now as its a audi and these cars are nearly bullet proof it has to be something or nothing so i would suggest you ask a local mechanic to have a look and see what they can find ,failing which its the main dealer who can sometimes work out cheaper as you have a brand mechanic who knows his or her make of vehicle ,although ask any backstreet mechanic like myself and they will call them unit changers as thats mainly all the younger ones are .

SOURCE: car over-revving then stalling

check your idle air control motor or the throttle position sensor.

Alot of the new cars have a electronic motor that controls the butterfly valve in the throttle body, that could also be faulty and would require you to get a new throttle body, not cheap, but not outrageous in price most of the time.

If still not sure it would be best to take it to the dealer, they have specialized scanners and other tools that most regular shops do not have.

SOURCE: white tail smoke, both temp gauges (oil/engine)

Alright there your on the money there. A4 audi's and The 2liter golfs do haed gaskets at around 145-150,000 miles. the oil's foamy kinda yellowie cream. Tip for ya When you do the head gasket cahnge the rad and water pump at the same time. Mine didthe same it's costly but worth it for piece of mind, Plus is the only time you get to the water pump apart from changing the timing belt.

SOURCE: 1998 Audi A4, engine shakes/runs rough sometimes

It sounds more like you've got an intermittant vacuum leak. Try, with the engine running, spraying some WD-40 or any kind of penetrating lubricant spray,over the intake manifold area and any related vacuum lines. If you hear the engine strat to stumble, providing you're not shooting directly into the air box, concentrate the spray on that area until you're able to pinpoint a loose, cracked. or off, vacuum line or hose.

If you put your foot on the brake and your car stalls, that is a symptom of your brake booster going bad.

I have audi a3 05 when starting feels like no power or going to stall,esp light comes on and engine managment flickers on after the first run the lights go off????

VW engines intend to do this, even if you pull up at a set of traffic lights it will nearly cut out or go into high rev's. i have an a3 & once driving down the road @ about 50kpm, I lost power stearing for 1-2 seconds, stearing wheel went stiff. Audi are a good drive but needs lots of tlc. One other thing is fuel pump could be acting up a bit.

sounds like water in the fuel line. HEET water remover or STP fuel injector cleaner on your next fill up should solve this problem

Audi TT stalling

Sounds like it could be your alternator (the part which recharges your battery while you're driving.) If it's in the process of dying, it will still give a little power back, and it will seem to be doing it's job when you're in the shop, but after some driving, you'll lose power. If it isn't that, there's also a chance it could be you have a short somewhere which is draining your battery. 
I would get your alternator checked first.
I hope that helps.
Caid.
