Audi S1 2.0TFSI Noise on start up

[adams_s1]

Hi all,

Recently got an Audi S1 2.0TFSI (EA888 Gen 3) and as you can see from the video there is a noise (not the whirring noise) for 1-2 seconds on a cold start, is this normal?
If not what could it be?

Came from a Honda Civic EP3 Type R so am used to lots of noises, but want to make sure this is normal.

Video is below-

Any advice would appreciated,

Cheers!

I don't often come on here that often now as it seems to be a thing of the past (used to be really busy).

In answer to your question, yes that is perfectly normal, it's just the hydraulic lifters pumping up as the oil pressure reaches the top of the engine.
My old Mk1 and Mk3 Octavias did exactly the same ( the Mk3 has the same engine), my S4 does it to, it's a VAG thing.
