sounds like you have a chipped tooth on your reverse gear.  common problem on mk3s and isn't really an issue apart from the noise!  As long as you treat it gently in reverse it shouldnt get any worse, make sure you come to a complete stop before selecting reverse and leve is a second or so before  putting it in gear.  Dont reverse uphill either if you can help it :)
