Richard Shaw......I fired up my A4 one time and no oil pressure (or very little indication). It was the oil pressure sending unit. Replaced it and all's well. Also, my oil pressure was running about 10 psi low, so I adjusted the screw for this. It is (looking at the flywheel) on the right side of the engine, kinda on the low side. Your manual will indicate location. I seriously doubt that it is the bearings.
Need more info? Lemme know.
