Why does my Audi A1's engine make a strange ticking noise?

I recently purchased a 2018 Audi A1 and I've noticed a strange ticking noise coming from the engine. It's only present when the engine is cold and goes away once it warms up. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

The ticking noise you hear is most likely due to the engine's hydraulic valve lifters. This is a common issue in many vehicles and is not something to be concerned about. As long as the noise goes away once the engine warms up, there is no need for further action.
