Default Did my engine just lock up?

Hi everyone I currently own a 97 audi a4 1.8t I was driving to work and I went over a deep hole my oil light came on I kept driving few minutes later all the lights came on on the dashboard and my car came to a stop now my question is did the engine lock up? I try moving the belts but there really hard and I can't get them to move.

Have you checked the oil? It will be near impossible to the engine by hand with the spark plugs still in. Sounds like you might've busted your oil pan...don't know how you wouldn't notice that, though.

Drive over big pothole, oil light comes on, keep driving, ruin engine. Like a BAWS.

Forums really need to incorporate "like" buttons.

For those of us who are not l33t, what does BAWS stand for?

Between the story and the grammar, perhaps it's for the best you aren't driving a car now.

Like "boss" but very accented. Listen to this song for further information:
