if its a bad quattro control unit then wouldnt all 4 wheels not spin cause they did up in the air??
when we had it on teh lift and put car in gear to listen fo rsound, all 4 wheels were spinning so if quattro unit is bad then I would think that not all 4 wheels would move???

On a hoist in the air the wheels are not under load from the weight of the car.>>>
So, I would expect if the noise is due to the solenoid clicking in an out under load, it would not show up.
Also, if the tick is because of some other condition that occurs only when the car is on the road,no matter what the cause, it would not necessarily show up when the car is run on a hoist.

is there a fuse or relay I can pull to test if it is actually coming from this solenoid..>>
like pull the fuse or relay then drive around and listen...if I hear nothing then I can say that would be the cause of the tick??

i had a similar problem, turned out that one of the nuts from the valve stem came undone and was
making a ticking noise inside the wheel, sometimes the problem lies in the most unusual of places..
