Engine cut out

[Tezmax]

Hi all,

Just coming to the end of a regular 45 mile drive coasting towards a left turn at about 20mph and engine cuts out with no stuttering or struggling to fire. No power steering and battery light on and i`m sure I seen on the warning display saying alternator fault or alternator not working but defo alternator something came up then disappeared. Came to a stop so turned the key and she started straight up.

Got to my works car park and done a scan, nothing came up and have since drove home 45miles with no problem.

Any idea`s as if this happened at 70mph on the A46 I would of been in bit of a pickle.

Thanks in advance.

Stalled the golf yesterday and warning said "Alternator Workshop"

This may have been the case when it cut out 

"idiot" springs to mind.

Crank sensor would be where I put my money. Passat did it for months til I chanted it. Good as gold now. And didnt throw a faupt code
