Which quattro you talking about, quattro turbo (WR, MB RR)?
He said "Audi quattro clicking", not "Audi Quattro clicking". 
For those who know
The way I understand it, and this is the place to be corrected...
The original (ur) car was a model called the Quattro, which is also the name for the drivetrain, yes the capital letter matters! The car was a massive sucess and there were three different incarnations of the car with subtle differences, mainly engines refered to as the WR for the first, the MB second and the latter cars were the RR.
As the drivetrain was then used in the 80,90,100 & 200 then the A, S and RS series cars it just became quattro as the drive train, thus why classic audi purists pick up on i have a quattro with a problem, instantly assume your talking about the urQuattro. Sheesh its a pernickety old world!
Anyway the noises, mechanical click or motor click? tried it with the roof up and the roof down?

Sorry, but if you have either a WR or an MB quattro check out the "quattro" badge on the boot lid, (lower case), always. The RR never has had the word quattro on the back.

There was an Audi internal comms memo produced in the early '80s exactly to this effect, Quattro Turbo and everthing else is just quattro. But in about 1985 they started using the lower case "q" for the turbo too.The original (ur) car was a model called the Quattro, which is also the name for the drivetrain, yes the capital letter matters!

"quattro" did appear on the back of RRs (at least it did on mine) in the rear screen heating element.
Anyway, it doesn't matter. I'm more interested in finding someone who can press a new bush into my WR rear diff.
i have an old rhodendron pulled from the just yesterday garden you could have?
sorry for veering off, hmans suggestion sounds likely, assuming the clicking frequency increases with speed as well? i have seen wheel weights make a noise with me before one was flapping up and down after an over aggressive session with the power washer.
