Default 2000 A6 Engine Noise

I have a very quick ticking noise for the first 1-2 seconds when starting my car cold. If i crank it first and dont let it start the tick does not happen at all...seems like lifter noise, but I am curious if anyone else has had this and how they resolved it...Thanks.

Default don't think you'll have to worry about adjusting valves on this car.

try a Seafoam treatment.
if that doesn't help, try a synthetic 5w-40 oil.
