Audi Quattro FAQ? Engine Questions....




I drove a Quantum Syncro today which has the Audi 5cylinder engine.   I am
new to the Audi world and was alarmed at the loud clicking sound the engine
makes during idle and throttle.    I have heard this is common.  Trouble is,
I am unsure what is normal and what is bad?

I looked around and did searches for an Audi FAQ so I wouldnt give the list
yet another question to generate traffic from, but I could not find a good
FAQ source.

I come from the VW-world, where every little bit of information can be found
on Jettas, Sciroccos, Golf and GTIs, and ESPECIALLY Corrados. *wink* but I
cant find the same for the Audi cars....

And there is MORE traffic on the list. <g>

Please give me the low down on what to look for when looking to buy an 1986
or 1987 Audi 4000CS Quattro as it relates to engine, drivetrain, or any
special things that go bad...like window switches.

Thanks in advance.
