It's possible that the clicking noise is coming from the valve train in your engine. This could indicate a problem with your camshafts or camshaft adjuster. It's best to have a mechanic inspect your engine to determine the exact cause of the noise.

I had the same issue with my Audi A3 and it turned out to be a faulty timing chain tensioner. It's important to get this fixed as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the engine.
