How do I fix a rattling noise in my Audi 80 engine?

I have noticed a rattling noise coming from my Audi 80 engine while driving. What could be the cause of this and how can I fix it?

First, check your oil level and make sure it is at the recommended level. Low oil can sometimes cause engine noises. If that doesn't solve the issue, it could be a problem with the timing chain or belt. It's best to take your car to a trusted mechanic for further inspection.

Another potential cause of rattling noises in the engine is loose or worn out belts and pulleys. Inspect the belts for any cracks or signs of wear and tighten or replace them if necessary.

If the rattling noise is more prominent when you start your car, it could be an issue with the starter motor. It's important to get this checked and replaced if needed, as a failing starter can leave you stranded.
