Weird small sound ??? any thoughts

I just purchased a 2004 1.8t quattro and have approx 900 miles on it. I have heard a puzzling slight clink clink only after starting up the car and going foward or backward after approx 4 or 5 seconds. When i do the same movements (i.e. backing up and then straightening out or going foward from stop with the engine running I do NOT hear the sound, seems only after startup and going). I have been told it could be the ABS system tapping to test? I have no other problems or noises after this initial sound while driving. Any suggestions, can it be the ABS?
Thanks in advance

Could be... why not take it in to Audi? It's brand spanking new! Get the service and warranty coverage you deserve.
