...the "tapping" is the sound the lifters make when there is low oil pressure.
This doesn't mean your low on oil necesarrily, it's just that your car hasn't fully warmed up yet.
I think some do it more than others, mine 1990 9k turbo does it too, maybe for about 2 minutes then it's warmed up and it stops.
I wouldn't worry about it, just make sure it doesn't make that noise ALL the time, and check your oil, maybe it needs to be changed?
