Have you checked whether your coils are working,if the spark if is coming at all is the expected for the spark plugs? Have you checked whether your spark plugs are good,or are black covered with unburned fuel an a lot of carbon? Also check whether you do have coming out from the fuel injectors,if the pressure of the injectors is the correct one . This should be carried out by using a fuel pressure tester. If can not do it please ask a qualified mechanic to help.

It is on the passenger side right behind the washer fluid fill tube. You can follow the fuel lines (look like 1/4" black tubes, some are clear) from the injector pump to it. It is a caniser a bit bigger than a normal looking oil filter and sits between the washer bottle and the metal that forms the wheel well. It is held in by a screw type clamp about half way down the cylinder. Probably isn't the fuel filter unless there is air in the lines to the injector pump or they didn't bother to fill the fuel filter up with diesel after putting it in. There is not a fuel pump in the tank in these cars so everything is sucked up by the injector pump and it needs to be primed properly.
SOURCE: Engine stalls while driving. Fuel deprivation?
I am having the exact same problem with my VW Touareg @60,000 miles. Two weeks ago and again today it sputters and stalls shortly after starting. I brought it into the shop and they could not reproduce the problem and said it was fine. Also, they had no ideas when I describes the problem. Anyone know what it going on? I am out of warranty.
