Howdy,

So just trying to get things sorted with the new to me 2009 Audi A3 Sline.

Tonight I noticed an odd metallic type noise just as the engine cranks and it doesn't last. I thought maybe timing chain but I don't think so.

Anyone know what that could be? Is it a natural characteristic of the motor? It's just a blip and gone.

Fixed the airbag light today, driver side mid range; all due to broken wires between driver door and frame. Engine light comes on periodically code p0171 (rear main is leaking) but engine idles fine and pulls strong.
 
Doesn't sound metallic to me on the video but more like some air slipping in/escaping somewhere. I wouldn't be too worried to be honest.
