Why is my Audi A3 engine making a strange ticking noise?

I've noticed that my Audi A3's engine has been making a strange ticking noise lately. It seems to be coming from the front of the car and gets louder when I accelerate. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

It's possible that the ticking noise is coming from a worn out belt or pulley. I suggest taking your car to a mechanic to have it checked and replaced if necessary.

Another potential cause could be that the engine is low on oil. Check your oil levels and top up if needed. If the noise persists, it's best to have a professional inspect the engine.
