Re: [Mk2] [NA] Name that tune (TAPPING NOISE)
Sounds as though it could be exhaust related. I suspect it is the 'pin' which holds the front pipe at the rear subframe:

I think it has sheared off but the rubber mount is holding it against the exhaust giving the rattle.
You can see this from above - rear bulkhead - offside

Doesn't sound like big ends to me. When they go they tend to go with the the RPM's. I.E. faster the RPM's, faster the knocking.

I agree, could be a camshaft/shim problem
p.s. you might want to set you photobucket account to private

Quick check for big ends, put car in first, without using any throttle, let engine idle, with hand brake on, and lift clutch up slowly so engine is nearly stalling. If big ends are gone/going it should so up with that nasty death rattle noise that sounds like the video.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Name that tune (TAPPING NOISE)
can thay just be changed or will this have caused damage to the engine? and how big a job is it to change them?
