Like a day after i read this my car started doing what he described. But mine is N/A It almost sounds like a rod knock but its more of a ticking noise. I can only hear it when I drive about like 3K rpm's. It almost sounds like its missing when it does it but no loss of power or anything. Please help lol im so tired of this.

I had the same problem in my old MkII - it was the hydraulic lifters.
When cold the ticking is pretty loud an speeds up with higher revs -
It gradually went away when the engine was warmed up

Ok well i found out the problem.....

You guys are going to mash on me so hard but after I did the second head gasket job I didnt fill it back up with oil I was to excited. I didn't think about the oil that had got lost from the head.... Anyway I put a bottle of STP oil treatment in it and another quart of oil and let it run for about 10 minutes. The knock is still there but I am pretty sure its in the valvetrain somewhere....
