    the noise sound like kickinga can down the drive way very loudly.

    Need to actually hear the noise that you are hearing. I would take a stab in the dark in saying that your timing chain is on its way out (if it goes then it could cause serious motor damage). What size motor is it? 4 cyl, 6 cyl, 8 cyl? Please give more details

Take the belt off to see if it goes away. If it goes away, one of the accessory pulleys is the problem. If it still makes the noise with the belt off, you have a problem internal to the engine. Check the oil to see if it is milky, like water has gotten into the crankcase.

Heyup i have a vw passat 1.8 on v pl8 and it has a nosie comeing from the engine it sounds like a hydrolic tapet it's a awfull ratling noise it sounds like a disle

Could be a timing belt tensioner.
But you did not say if this is a turbo, 16 valve, or 20 valve?
The 20 valve engine did have camshaft problems worth examining for,

Bad metal-ratling noise from engine-car died after.

They have been known to have pulleys lock up. Check the pulleys and the serpentine belt for tension. Good luck

Hydrolic Valve Lifters.(Vanos) Replacing

Hi

The lifters can be cleaned by getting the engine nice and hot and then adding an engine flush to the oil and leaving the engine running at a high tickover for about 15 to 20 minutes, and then giving the car an oil and filter change.

Are you sure its the tappets and not the timing chain?

Regards

Geordie
