Does this B7 engine sound normal?

http://qik.ly/Bg3pR9TFBwSJUdTuu9vWI9c

This is a 2005.5 A4 Avant with 75,000 miles I was looking at buying. We just sold our 02 A4 1.8 and are looking at B7s..Is this normal sounding for the 2.0T?

Hi Hi

I have an 06 A4 and mine sounded like that, replaced the exhaust and it went away. Diesel sound is usually an exhaust leak, but it could be valves. Definitely take it in to find out before you buy it.

It's a little hard to gauge how loud that really is but our direct injection, TFSI engines have a clicking sound reminiscent of diesel engines which is normal for our cars.
