It just didn't start one day. My oil meter went all the way down to zero which is strange since I didn't have a oil leak. I already tried the deflooded method for S5, the floor it and crank.

That could be a number of things.

I would try putting a teaspoon of oil in each rotor housing and get new sparkplugs. Sometimes these motors don't want to start and if you keep cranking then they get flooded. Try this method it won't hurt anything.

I put in new front and rear sparks today and nothing changed. I'll try that oil in the rotor housing but uh how do I get it in there? lol I gotta open that **** up?
