Default Clicking noise coming from engine.

One problem after another, I cant wait to get a brand new Audi w/ a warranty. Does anyone know what the clicking is from, it seems louder at certain times.

Default Sounds like when you're overdue for an oil change, constant clicking, maybe coming from a valve?

Thats as detailed as I can get without knowing what the problem is myself.
