It is an audi a4 sline 56 plate. The car was running perfectly fine until I ran out of diesel. After filling up the car would not start and an low oil pressure light came on.

Hi sorry for my delay. If you extended the crank time trying to start u will get that because it’s not runningSince there is air in the system the factory scan is needed to run a bleeding procedure to purge the air. Keep in mind since ran out of fuel possibilities of damage to the pumps.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
