Noisy Lifters at 11k?

[TM]

IMHO, the lifters should not be noisy on a car w/ 11k miles on it.

If anything, I think the car has defective lifters if they only last
11k.

The filter has only been changed at an Audi dealership- I assume they're
using the proper factory filters.

Even if it's not a problem, if the lifters are tapping already, I guarantee
that I'll make Audi replace the lifters before the warranty expires.
