Hi guys need help
Started the car this morning got a loud warning/ flash engine oil light beeping and before i could pull off i heard the engine knocking (sounds like valves /pistons as if they want to jumping out the engine . (MP9 fuel injection )

Please help what to do stripping and replacing with new rings /pistons /valves /doing complete timing ? taking head to engineers /compression test ?

well it sounds like your oil pump has failed - and due to low oil pressure - you now have a bearing knock

does a engine get a bearing knock that quick, didn't think it will happened that quick after a pump failure, thought you could still drive the car like a couple of km's

It does start and drive but it will mess up even more coz it feels like the valves and pistons are nocking around

It is screwed seconds after the oil light goes on. You don't have minutes and km's

Start pulling things apart if you are capable or ask the guys for recommendations to find a trusted mech in your area.
