[s-cars] growl/clunk at engine start/stop

[dgraber460 at aol.com]

I would be very careful and not run it until I had it diagnosed. It could easily be something that could adversely affect the timing belt, and make one of Audis best engines a very expensive boat anchor. It is not unheard of for the serpentine belt to get tangled with the TB and.........well very ugly things happen.

I've got a growl/clunk when starting the engine and when shutting it down.
 had might wife start and stop the engine several times while poking my
ead around under the hood.  Seems to be coming from the front of the
ngine, but I couldn't pinpoint anything.
 
Could it be the fan clutch?  Spins OK by hand and doesn't seem loose, but I
