The only cheap way of improving them is to flush your oil and put new in with a propper vw filter as they have a non return valve in to help keep the oil at the top end.

Wynns hydraulic tappet cleaner usually does a good job at shutting them up.
Needs to be followed by an oil change a couple of hundred miles later though.

I used lifter in mine, but i would imagine they are pretty similar, as the lifter cleans and stops them sticking, and also lubes them so they do not rattle. Can't say i have ever seen a tin of cleaner.  :huh:
