I recently changed out my oil pan after cracking it. Afterwards, I put 4 quarts of oil in, tried to start it up and it the engine wouldn't turn over. A friend of mine said you have to turn the key to "On" and let it sit for a while to let the oil pressure rebuild. Did that and still no results.
When I cracked my oil pan, I drove it about 1/2 a block with no oil at about 10 mph, then another 1/2 block with oil in it while the pan was still cracked. I'm hoping my engine did not seize. Any ideas or suggestions? It is a 1999.5 (mk4) VW Golf GTI with the VR6 engine (12v.)
Thank you.

Try and turn the engine over with a socket on the crank pulley. Tha will tell you if it is seazed or not. Perhaps you broke aor knocked a wire off while changing the pan. Does it click or wherr when you turn it on? Neber heard of leaving it in on to pre oil it. I `m sure it does not have any kind of electric oil pump.

Is it a standard tranny? Try pushing it in 4rd gear. Does it move?
If so, push start it. If not, I'm sorry.
You didn't say if it clicked, banged, or anything else when you tried to start it.
Does it make any noise at all? Do the lights dim when you turn the key to the start position?

Is it a trouble-free tranny? attempt pushing it in 4rd kit. Does it circulate? if so, push initiate it. If no longer, i'm sorry. You did no longer say if it clicked, banged, or something once you tried to start it. Does it make any noise in any respect? Do the lighting fixtures dim once you swap the main to the initiating place?
