Get a long screwdriver or something similar and place it a various points on the engine (bottom/top etc.)
place ear at handle end and listen.
Will give you a better idea where the sound is coming from.

If bottom then source another engine. (scrappy)
If top it should be tappets, but do an oil/filter change first.

What ever it is, it will be cheaper to get a 2.0 8v gti engine 

£100 for a good one

If its fecked then im going for the 2.0 16v
