helo every body, im new,ish, i know its not an s2 but iv just brought an audi coupe 2.6 v6 and theirs a funny grinding noise coming from the front middle of the car, its like thin metal scrapinng on something but its not always their

its not their when the car is just ideling
its not their when the cars rolling and the clutch inn
and it stops for a second when driving and going over bumps, as the engine moves and bounces you hear the nois stoping and starting,

confusing init,

Hmm, could be knackered prop bearing - i'm guessing you have a quattro? you didn't state.
Oh and its drive train, not chain !

knackered eng mounts, exhaust rubbing on chassis, wheel bearing.......many possibilites i'm afarid, just be grateful its 2wd otherwise your suspect list would near double!
