Default the irony of a breakdown...

So about a month ago my 98 a4 quattro broke down... oil starvation was the cause. Well after replacing the head, pvc tube, camshafts, camshafy position sensor, ecu, icm, coils, and few random hoses, plus eaning the oil pan and oil pickup tube we pit it together so it would run... to check the oil.pump...... well it was shot, so it just got torn apart again and is awaiting a new oil pump, timing belt "kit", water pump, and thermostat. The ironic part.... when we bought it we figured few "small" things would need replacing... we were wrong. Still i only paid 1200 for the audi and i think dropped another 1200 into it...

Ps.. oil pressure sensor wasn't reading and i didn't know it... the pump was working, just not enough to supply oil while under a highway setting.
