Starter Motor Noise

[Glenn Kaufman <gkaufman@ftp.com>]

There's an awful sound during the first few seconds after the engine kicks
over.  The dealer says that it's the starter motor and that it doesn't need
replacing now but it could break without further notice.  

Does anyone have any experience with a similar noise and problem with the
starter motor?  How long are they suppose to last?  One of the virtues of
this Audi and I hear other German cars is that the parts that go bad always
seem to get your attention (noise, etc. ) before breaking.
