Anyone Had This Tapping/Clicking Noise?

(1/1)

JTI:
I know engine noises in the MK5 are well documented but I couldn't find an example of the following which I am experiencing.

When the engine gets warm I get a tapping/clicking noise to the left of the engine, which seems to be behind the cover below.



The noise follows a pattern though of tap...taptap....tap...taptap. The pattern gets slightly quicker as the cars speed increases.

I used to get a weird flutter/rattle noise from this area, but recently I overfilled my car with oil which caused it to run rough. Since taking the excess oil out I am left with this tapping noise instead.

Anyone know what this might be? Car seems to be running fine otherwise.
