hey Isimmo, nah its 10v.; my mate said its proberly the hydraulic tappets....i have noticed theyve got pretty noisy the last week or so. The cars over 100,000 miles now too
Mayby its just a really noisy tappet at the back? sounds really bad when it does it
matt
If it's tappets, give it a good engine flush and oil/filter change to a VAG approved oil (Synta Gold or similar)... It 'should' makedly reduce the tappet noise or cure it completely.

Like this... maybe..
