Sudden stop on Golf 1.8T

I use to own a golf 1.8T, but it had really dangerous problems with it. Every so often, it would stop while.. running. Like one time when i wanted to make a right turn, i stopped, checked for cars, and when i wanted to proceed with the turn, the car went completely dead. I had to start the car up again in order to run it... im just wondering whether this has happened to anyone, and if so, do u know the why?.. :/ :confused:
Thx!

What year & is the check engine light on?

its 2001, and no..the engine light isn't on.. -_- thats wats scary about it, cuz when we bring it in.. for check ups, the mechanics couldn't find anything wrong wit it. =.=

It may be helpful to have it scanned with a VW scanner or simulator as it can pick up codes that don't set the check engine light. Has it ever felt like the engine was misfiring/sputtering?
