A fault code, a Audi "Technician" has witnessed it not starting, video proof and being towed by AA should be clear cut the car that there is problem with fuel related.
I had this problem with my 208 Gti where the car would start and drive fine but if you left it to idle long enough or engine off for 5-10mins and try start again the car will start idling rough and then eventually cut off with a EML fault, cleared it and car started but the engine was idling very badly and eventually cut off.
Leave the car alone until its cooled down it start again with no issues but as mentioned it start developing problem if you leave it alone long enough as fuel pump could not provide enough pressure.
Both the high pressure and low pressure fuel pump got replaced and the high pressure fuel pump is a common fault that can potentially go wrong.
