Driving in traffic around 60km/hr oil light started to flicker and then come on and stays on. Whilst trying to find a safe place to pull over, engine started rattling (tappets)

Sh1t. Sounds like oil pump has failed or suction strainer fault. Hopefully you have caught it in time. Have you any warranty?

Re: Ohh f*ck f*ck Nooo !! Oil light and rattles :(
If you're lucky the sound was your valve lifters losing oil and not the bearings. If the bearings survived (not impossible in a very low engine load scenario) the total bill might be reasonable (the lifters should survive they just get noisy without oil, like on very cold starts)
Should find out soon enough I guess. Still, this is nightmare type stuff...if I ever see my oil light I'm shutting it off stat even if I'm in the middle of 5 lanes. Screw traffic, I know what an engine costs...

^^JC echoes my sentiments exactly. Cheaper to get rear-ended than replace that box of tricks.

Hi gents
Yes, I do have warranty but its capped to 5,000 pounds per claim.
Really hope I managed to pull over quick enough and minimized damage.
Has there been many oil pump / oil pick up failures with RS6s in the past?
