Car cut out

Hey guys driving home tonight and my car cut out. No warning lights or anything. Tried too start it again and it seemed as if the battery was dying. But after a few turns of the key it started and ran fine.
Anyone got any ideas ?
Thanks

Do you have access to VCDS? Could be a number of things.

have you had any work done recently? put a multi meter on your battery before starting then again once started.. see what volts you're getting.
has the car started and drove fine today?

Before starting voltage was 11.5v and once running voltage was between 13.9-14.3v
The car smells like it’s over fueling can smell petrol

Cut out under what circumstance? Driving along normally, or when pulling up to a junction/roundabout?
11.5V is too low. Should be around 12.6 with the engine off, so you'll be needing a new battery at some point.

I would honestly be better with a new car. More problems today.
While driving getting random puffs of smoke from exhaust not constant and get low oil pressure flashing up flashes like once or twice and goes off.

maybe it could be the Oil Pick Up Pipe in the sump?

Would that cause the odd puff of smoke but ?

not sure if it would be the cause of smoke but it could be the cause of the low oil pressure
