Ok thanks, anyone else of the same opinion or a different one?

Cambelt was done at main dealers April '13 @ 45500 miles.
Paperwork doesn't say if tensioners were done at same time. Mileage is now 95k, not sure when next change is due though.

have you a link for that thread please ta.

Cambelt and tensioners are overdue - every 40k miles or 4 years - whichever comes first. Get the water pump done at the same time.
Don't delay in getting it booked in!

Another thread on this exact matter just popped up and the problem was caused by the water pump
Can you post up the link for that thread ta

I assume he means my thread http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,104278.0.html

But it is a different sound as you can hear.
