Why is my Audi A3 making a weird clicking noise when I accelerate?

It's possible that the clicking noise is coming from a loose heat shield near the exhaust system. This is a common issue in Audi A3s and can be easily fixed by a mechanic.

Another potential cause could be a worn CV joint. This is a more serious issue and should be addressed by a mechanic as soon as possible to avoid further damage to your vehicle.

If your Audi A3 has high mileage, it's possible that the clicking noise is coming from a failing timing chain tensioner. This can be a pricey repair, so it's important to have it checked out by a mechanic
