It Didnt Use To Do It I No Some One With A Awx Audi A4 And That Doesnt Do It

he's lucky then.
if yours didn't do it before then perhaps just an oil and filter change would help to get the oil
up to the top end faster,but believe me,diesels rattle and knock until they warm up.

are you using the correct engine oil,and replacing oil and filter regularly ?

Mine rattles at start up for a few seconds and then goes quiet (well, as quiet as a diesel can) - assume this is when the oil circulates to the top end. Has done this since I bought it (36,000 miles ago) - 2001 TDI 130 model with 112,000 miles.
