Just recently bought a '99 111s so getting used to nuances of the car. After hard acceleration there seems to be a "tack-a-tack-a-tack" noise possibly from nearside front. It seems to correspond to the speed at which the wheel is turning.
Any ideas?

The other good one is when braided brake hoses have been fitted and touch the front wheels - gives more of a swish than a tick though.
Cheers,
