Why does my Audi 80 engine make a ticking noise?

I recently noticed a ticking noise coming from my Audi 80's engine, especially when I first start it. What could be the cause of this and how can I fix it?

The most common cause of a ticking noise in Audi 80 engines is low oil pressure. Make sure you regularly check your oil levels and consider using a thicker oil to help reduce the noise.

Another potential cause is worn out lifters or camshafts. Consider taking your car to a mechanic to have it checked and replaced if necessary.

If your Audi 80 has a turbocharged engine, the ticking noise could be coming from a faulty wastegate or turbo bearing. Have a professional take a look at it to diagnose and fix the issue.
