I think the point they are making is that it would help to see the layout of the engine, ie is the left hand side where the noise is coming from the side where the serpentine belt is?
It sounds from the speed of the ticking like one of the pulleys around the serpentine belt if that is the side where the noise is coming from, it sounds too slow to be a tappet etc, but ultimately no one will be able to diagnose what the fault is from a noise, you need to take it to a garage for them to examine.

Okay, I don't even know with the bonnet open as it's a very compacted engine. You can't see much. So on camera they'd not narrow it down.
In 15 years I've fixed my own cars. I don't do garages sadly, for them. Just get an idea online or via diagnostics and dig in.
I'm getting a bit of a fumes smell from the engine bay so, I think I'm going to locate the exhaust manifold and exhausts pipe work underneath one day soon to see if there's a failure there.

I won't bother trying to help you if you can't be bothered to either.
So I've since posted the same video on a owners forum who all use the same car and 8 people have all said it's the injector seals common on bank 3 or 6 or both.
They even sent me videos of theirs with the exact same noise. So it does seem it's the injector seals and I'll tackle it tomorrow.

I wasn't a million miles off with exhaust leak then, it is a cylinder air leak, but from the injector, not exhaust.They even sent me videos of theirs with the exact same noise. So it does seem it's the injector seals and I'll tackle it tomorrow.
I have a couple of leaky injector seals on my A6 Allroad - need to get them sorted.
My pal recently did all 6 on his Q7 and performed an ultrasonic clean of the injectors - transformed the car, 5mpg better afterwards and much quieter.
You need to ensure the 'correct' genuine Audi seals, there are some dodgy fake ones out there suposedly.

Well, I've changed all injector washers with some off eBay and the o rings as well made by febi bilstein off eBay too and did the job myself. When the injectors were out I have them a light scrub with a brass brush.My pal recently did all 6 on his Q7 and performed an ultrasonic clean of the injectors - transformed the car, 5mpg better afterwards and much quieter.

Everything now running smoothly again.
So injector leak was the culprit
