When starting my RS6 from cold i.e overnight stnad etc it sounds a bit noisy/tappety for about 1/2 a second till oil gets around the engine I assume.
Is this normal???
Thanks

Probably the cam chain tensioners need replacing.

One of those annoying things but not the end of the world. Mine has done it since I bought it and it hasn't exploded yet.
