Default problems galore

im so frustrated with my audi right now im hoping anyone can give me some insight..

so about 1 month ago, my engine light started flashing and my car started shaking. i was told it was an engine misfire and 2 coilpacks/spark plugs were replaced. 3 weeks later same thing happened and then the other 2 were replaced.

2 days after i got it back engine started shaking violently, engine light flashing again. brought it in and vacuum pump was replaced and i got my car back yesterday.

today i am driving and i get the oil sensor every like 5 mins. i check the oil and its at a good level ( i just had an oil change like 400 miles ago). then my engine light comes on again this time not flashing but just solid. any ideas? thanks guys

I think ECS sells a kit that includes a new oil pump. A flush will probably just load your existing pump with crud, and finish off your engine.
