    Hey guys, so my brother recently bought a used 2005 A6 3.2 from the dealership in Greenwich. Anyways the car runs great, nice car inside and out, esp. the inside, can't beat it. ANYways, the motor makes this ticking sound and I wanted to know if it was something bad like valve tick or if its the normal sound of the motor. It just doesn't sound smooth. The idle sits dead perfect and there are no CELs car was inspected by Audi blah blah. Someone on AW told me its the normal sound of FSI. What the hell is that? Does anyone here agree?! Thanks

    Mike is this ticking heard at idle or when you are cruising at part throttle?
