05 audi a6 3.2 quatro
So I was driving and all of a sudden my low oil message popped up following my low coolant message then the car died pushed off the road to a parking lot popped hood and oil is fine and coolant was one basic water bottle empty so about 16oz. Now the car won't turn over everything turns on but when the motor try to turn over nothing. U can here the auto system try and then shut off but the starter will not budge the motor hooked up jumpers still nothing. My oil was fine so I hope to go the motor didn't seize but can someone please help. I'm sure it's not as easy as a starter. Check engine is on now but can't get codes till I get it towed. Thought I'd try here first. Thank you in advance.

First thing to check to see if the engine is indeed seized or not, put a socket on the bolt that holds the belt pulley on the crank and see if it will turn by hand. Take the spark plugs out to help make it easier to turn. There will be some resistance but it should turn by hand if it's not seized.

I would pop off a timing cover as well and verify that your timing belt is still intact.
