04 A4 3.0: oil pump/pickup pipe removal tutorial instructions
Greetings!
Due to a low oil pressure indicator light I'm looking to:
1. Pull the oil pan and check for sludge
2. Possibly replace oil puck-up pipe/tube
3. Possibly replace oil pump
Do any of you fine folks know where instructions/write-ups/videos exist in replacing said parts? Doable without lift or engine hoist? The car has 150K, thus at this point I'm not too motivated at throwing a bunch of $ into it. On a side note, it has an engine leak not rectified by a valve cover gasket change.
Thanks so much in advance!

For anyone wondering what it looks like under the pan here are a few shots. Looks like sludge is not the problem. Pump?

The 3.0 is unlikely to have sludge unless severely non-maintained, due to its oil not getting hot as it can on the 1.8T. First thing to suspect is the pressure sender, in my opinion.

Some say that for that oil pump the engine has to be removed entirely from the car? Is thatt correct?
Has anyone changed an oil pump or has the procedure for the car I have if it is different than the one posted?
Thank you!
