I wouldn't pull the power unless he has the radio codes. Seems like he has a vagcom, so he can clear them with that.

well let me fill you in. me and my uncle (my boss) tried to get this thing started.
turns out the cylinders are loaded with fuel. we dried the plugs out and tryed to start the car 4-5 times.
we also did a compression test.. dry CR = 90 / wet CR=125-130

what is normal compression on these cars?
also where is the fuel pump fuse/relay located?

my uncle isnt an audi guy but has been in the business for 30+ years.

does anyone have ANY idea what happened here? how this could be fixed?

thanks guys

Thats horrible compression numbers, the absolute wear limit audi specifies is 102 psi or 7 bar.
A new engine has 10-13 bar or about 190 psi. I think driving it with the oil light on has taken out your motor. Re-check that and pray you made a mistake.
