Low pressure, now the car will not start.
Hey every one. So heres what happened. I had started getting a low oil pressure signal from the car, i wet immediately to autozone (in that car) to get oil. Checked the oil level and the oil was full. So i drive home and the light came on. That was about a month ago and yesterday when going to meet someone, i got the signal again, then again check the oil and it was fine. I continued on my way then when i got there the car started loosing acceleration so i immediately parked, check the oil again and it was still fine so i put a lil bit of oil in the engine so i could at least make it home. Almost home and i had to pull a large hill and thats where the acceleration went to **** (excuse my llanguage) at about 5-7ooo rpm in 2gear+ the car only went about 20mph. Luckly i coast the majority of the way home but right around the corner from my house the car stalled and wouldnt start back up so i had it towed the rest of the way and now the car will not start.
Any help would be appreciated, I know i have to fix the oil pump but what would cauz the car not to start.

K wont start? Like it wont even crank over? probably seized the engine up if it doesnt turn over. Thats why on 1.8T cars you dont keep driving when the oil light comes on. It may sound ok, and have full oil, but it does damage every minute you run it low on oil pressure from blocked oil pump or what ever is faulty. Tow truck to a repair shop to replace or clean the oil pump pickup would have saved it but instead you insisted on continuing to drive the car, and even worse revving the **** out of it to 5-7k while its low on pressure. The engines toast.
