My gti has 130k miles on it and recently it broke down . The car started to flash an engine light told me to stop driving and had an aggressive tick / knock. The car turns on but knocks on idle. The car had no oil in it and i put a quart of oil to see if it held and it did not show up on the dipstick. It still turns on , but knocks loudly . What could be my problems?

You ran the car out of oil and destroyed the engine.... replacements are located at your local wrecking yard.

I would encourage you to check your vehicles oil level and tire pressure at least once a month. A minimum yearly oil change at a 3rd party shop dealing with European vehicles using synthetic oil in the 0w to 5w - 40 range. Or preferably buy an oil extractor from amazon and do it yourself. Plenty of youtube video showing basic car maintenance.

I would encourage you to click on the golfmk6 button on the upper left corner and post there for help with a 2012 GTI.
