Why is my Audi A1 making a strange noise when starting the engine?

I recently purchased an Audi A1 and I've noticed that when I start the engine, it makes a strange noise. It sounds like a grinding or scraping sound. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?

It's likely that the noise you're hearing is coming from the starter motor. This is a common issue with Audi A1s and can be caused by a faulty starter motor or a weak battery. It's always best to have it checked by a mechanic to be sure.
