Oil Pressure Warning LIght
To start with I have an 2002 A6 Avant 3.0 with 339,000 miles on it. I have owned the car since it had 21,000 miles. I always did the required oil changes timing belt changes, and all the regular maintenance that was required. Lately because I was caught in the financial debacle a couple of years ago I haven't been able to keep the car as much as I had been.
My called me a couple weeks ago saying she couldn't start the car. when I got home the low pressure warning light was on and the car wouldn't start. I don't know what to do or where to start. Prior to this I have had the dealer or one or two local shops do the work. But now becuase of money I need to see what I can do.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to begin? What VAG tool should I buy? Does the Bentley repair manual give enough detail to do what I need on this car? Any help or suggestions will be hugely appreciated.
I love my car. It's been the best car I have ever owned bar none. I want to get it back on the road and hit 500,000 miles. Please advise. Thanks.

Wow!..... "339k miles on a 3.0"......
If you made it that far it sounds like that engine is ready for some major engine work, in short you either have a bad oil pump or "sludge" blocked oil passages and the only way to tell is a lot more than you might want to read.
Does the engine turn over?

VAG-COM
I am a total neophite with these cars. I want to start working on this one to keep the cost down and to have a project that is worth while.
What is VAG - COM and where do I get it? Also, do you recommend that I get a Bentley Repair Manual? I can't decide if it's the service manual I need or the Repair Manual. I need something that is very detailed.
