| 1995) and the new A6 in 1997 !

Typo. Its Audi 100 1989.

| it was only on the 2.3 nf. ng engine, it was part of emmision control
| with cat, cars , ticking noise is normal, and it is a type 44 and 1989
| not 99 hope this helps

You are right, it's 1989, imported to Serbia & Montenegro from
Switzerland. I was hoping I cold make it stop ticking because it sounds
similar to ticking of hydraulic lifters of the exhaust and intake valve.
Oil level was on the minimum, and one of hydraulic lifters was making
ticking sound also. Now after adding some oil to the engine ticking is
gone, but I will probably have to replace them some time soon.

I have another problem. My Audi runs on LPG and standard fuel is used
only while for few minutes after engine starts. After I drove my car
some 200 km on gasoline (not sure if it is related to my problem) I have
problem starting cold engine. It starts, but sometimes stalls, and for
few seconds it does not respond adequately when I press throttle pedal.
Does it have something to do with cold start valve? Anyone knows a link
where I van find more information about that valve?

Could it be a bad bearing?
