Why does my Audi A2 engine sound loud on startup?

My Audi A2 has been making a loud noise when I start the engine in the morning. Why is this happening and what should I do?

This loud noise on startup is likely caused by a failing oil pump. You may also notice a decrease in engine performance and potentially see the oil pressure warning light come on. It's important to address this issue as soon as possible before it causes further damage to your engine.

I had the same issue with my Audi A2 and it turned out to be a problem with the timing chain tensioner. The good news is that it's a relatively inexpensive and easy fix. Make sure to take it to a reputable mechanic who has experience working with Audi vehicles.

Before you panic, check the oil level in your car. If it's low, that could be the cause of the loud engine noise. Simply top it off with the recommended oil and see if that solves the problem. If not, it's best to have a professional diagnose the issue.
