Loss of Oil Pressure - A4 1.8T

[Phil Payne]

> Symptoms: Sudden loss of oil pressure.

Well, I thnk the first step is going to be a sump drop and a Plastigage check of a central
main and big end bearing - one of each, as close to the centre of the engine as possible.  The
turbo is usually unaffected by oil _pressure_ as such, more by oil _flow_.  It's much less
likely to be damaged by such events.

Then I would check the oil pickup to the pump.
