Re: gti 1.8 engine noise
Does the noise increase if you bring up the revs?
Could be a number of issues such as a worn part, or could be that your oil pressure is low. Check your oil levels as if there isn't enough oil then the upper part of the valve train might not be getting enough oil.

Loose exhaust or heat guard perhaps?
Re: gti 1.8 engine noise
it’s not the exhaust it’s been swapped out it’s definitely engine noise
