I have had the same noise for about three years and 25,000 miles, i'm afraid you gunna have to learn to love it! I think its the tappets but unless you wanna spend a fortune I wouldn't worry about it, the car still drives fine, just sounds a bit hagged!

The dealer will still sell all the parts, but if you want them cheaper find someone whos breaking their car. Look in the for sale section on this site

Well if thats what you want to do, you will need to make alterations to the wings as the indicators are different sizes on pre/post facelift. If I were you I would just change the bumpers, if you look at the car in the thread I posted it really doesnt look that bad with the old style headlights...

Those won't fit unless you change the grille and indicators. They are a different shape to your current lights. As I said before the best thing you can do is put facelift bumpers on. I have found you some links that should help you out! http://www.vagowners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=300...
