Hello, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will be helping you with your question today. I've been working on Audis for over 30 years now, so I should be able to help you through this. Please understand that some of my suggestions may require special diagnostic tools and equipment that many home mechanics may not have, but are often required. So, my first question is whether you're planning on performing your own repairs, or are you wanting to be armed with information before bringing it into your mechanic?
**Also, the site automatically prompts for a phone call. It's very rare that I'm available by phone, so let's hold off on that for now. If needed after we exchange some information, I will do my best to take the time for the call.**
Couple of other questions:
1) when you say it won't start, is the starter cranking the engine over when you turn the key?
2) what scan tool are you using?
3) how many miles are on it?
4) did it quit while driving, or did you go to start it one day, and it just wouldn't start?
Please be as detailed as possible with your responses, since those are the only way that I can be of further help. Thanks!

Ok, any chance I could get a VIN also?
There's a part that you're going to need, but there is a VIN break mid-model year

Ok, attaching a picture of the part needed. Fuel pump control module.
It's the computer module under the fuel pump access panel.
Part numbers
OE: 4F0 906 093H
Pierburg: 7.07796.19.0
This should get you back to good.

Ok, so it does run for a bit, which should eliminate Fuse 1 on the right side of the dash.

Actually, here's what you need to do. I'll attach an instruction list PDF, and will post a part number for a relay that will need to be changed. It's up near the driver's side wiper spindle at the base of the windshield. Replace relay #2 and you should be good to go.
I know the instructions I'm attaching pertain specifically to relay #3(ECM power supply), but the relay that powers the fuel pump module is relay #2 in the diagram.
