Why is my Audi 80 making a strange noise when I start it?

I have an Audi 80 and every time I start it, there is a loud grinding noise coming from the engine. It only lasts for a few seconds and then goes away. Should I be concerned about this?

This could potentially be a problem with your starter motor. It is best to have a mechanic inspect it to be sure.

It might just be a loose belt. Check your car manual to see if you can tighten it yourself or take it to a mechanic.
