My wife's polo 2008 1.4 engine is pretty noisy tappety sounds done a quick google search points to noisy hydrolic lifters? Apparently you can buy some solution liquid made by wyns to sort it out bought it online should get it by Monday. Anyone used it before with success?
 
I tried that stuff on an early 2002 Ibiza 6K with the old 1.4 8v engine, it might have done a small bit of good. Maybe the trouble with the 2008 1.4 16v engine is that it has no engine cover to quieten down the noise a bit, the injectors are also noisy. My oldest daughter has a late 2009 Ibiza 1.4 16v and yes it is a bit noisy, but it is a reliable and tough engine, she has owned that car from new and it gets serviced on time using correct parts, current mileage is 41K.

Edit:- my wife ran a 2003MY Polo 1.4 16v for 13 years from new - it had the engine cover type of air cleaner and it had sound proofing fitted to the bonnet.
