Audi a3 1.6tdi engine sound

[Audi-12332!]

Is this a normal sound for my 1.6tdi audi a3? I've owned it for 3 months now and its always been making a metallic clinking sound on idle, im not sure if its normal.

I think that sound is came from 2 things waterpump or cambelt. You got it only on when your car is cold ?

This was recorded after driving a mile and the engine was just under 90 decrees C

Is that not just the diesel tractor sound?

For me also the sound is OK but if the car is cold it's a little bit loud that's why I ask him if the car was running hot or cold
