Bringing this info in from this thread http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/thread...ngine-under-acceleration.181153/#post-2662090 - i didn't realise i'd posted in the B5 thread! lol
So basically i've had what sounds like a ticking noise on acceleration since i got the car. As you can see from the video the car starts up just fine and is quiet. With the bonnet up things bet a bit noisier (but i think it sounds worse on video than it actually is).
Pushing accelerator in neutral there is no ticking, it only happens when driving.
The video shows it best in the final clip when on the freeway and putting the foot down. This is what would happen in an overtaking situation. The ticking is louder higher up in the rev range and disappears on release of the throttle or when cruising speed is reached and like in the B5 thread you can hear it way more when driving next to a car/truck/within built up areas.

ordered a manifold to turbo gasket and will chuck it on to see if it's that... fingers crossed it is. Anyone else had this?
