IT'S A BOMB! :-o hehe

Anyways I get this ticking noise in my 95 tsi automatic, mostly at idle or in 1st gear, but it matches engine RPM. It goes away when I shift or move the engine by turning or accelerating quickly. Happens most commonly when I've been driving hard and then roll to a slow stop.

Sounds exactly like crank sensor ticking inside the car, but when I get out and listen I can't hear anything ticking. Definitely not lifter tick either.
