I recently noticed that my Audi 80's engine is making a ticking sound when I start it up. It goes away after a few minutes but it's still concerning. What could be causing this and should I be worried?
ReplyIt's common for older Audi 80 engines to make a ticking sound when first starting up. This is due to the hydraulic valve lifters needing time to fill up with oil. As long as the sound stops after a few minutes, it's nothing to worry about.
The ticking sound could also be caused by a loose belt or pulley in the engine. Check for any visible damage or wear and have it replaced if necessary.
In some cases, the ticking sound could be a sign of low oil pressure or a problem with the oil pump. Check your oil levels and consider getting a professional inspection to rule out any potential issues.
