Motor makes ticking sound when started motor can be hot or cold last about a min.
The ticking sound is known by GM and they left it. It is actually a lifter waiting to get enough oil to pump it up correctly. As the motor gets older this will continue longer and longer as more lifters join in. The engine will start sounding like a sewing machine. Simple Replace the oil pump with a High Volume High Pressure one, all lifter ticking will go away. Put in three of them now.

the internal combustion of the main valve is most likely either clogged or it has a loose spark plug that is constantly providing a spark without oil. Either that or your break pads have gone bad or just some seats and stuff loose, I'd have it checked on by your nearest professional.

make sure the battery is fully charged, and then if so, you have a starter that has went out.. you will need to replace it...
also, make sure the battery cables are tight and clean

I Have a 92' golf 2 Gti the 1.8 8Valve model.My hydrolic lifters are very noisy.when i start the car in the morning they are quiet but as soon as the motor warms up and i drive around a bit they become very loud.I have a small dent in my oil sump and im unsure as to wether that could be causing the oil pick up to be restricted as to the amount of oil it can pump up to the head.How do I combat it or is it just maybe wear and tear on the lifters?

Sounds like a sensor is breaking down under heat of engine.
Try the Crank sensor (under the alternator at front of engine with a 2 pin multiplug attached. Or the Cam sensor (more likely) placed behind the oil filler neck and looks the same as the crank sensor. Breakers should sell you these for approx £20 each.
If no joy let me know.

SOURCE: 98 Cadillac Northstar motor running hot in 30 min.
The normal operating temperature for the Northstar engine is around 210 degrees.
The fans will not come on until the temp hits 225 degrees.
The thermostat in the northstar engine is located at the bottom radiator hose (unlike most conventional cooling systems).
The most common overheating problem with the Northstar engine is a blocked purge line(small hose).The purge line is designed to purge air out of the cooling system.
There is a small diameter hose coming from near the top of the coolant tank (not the cap) ,this is the purge line.
With the engine idling,pull the purge line from the tank,if there is no coolant flow from this small hose,it is blocked and this will cause overheating.If the hose is clear, check for blockage at the nipple on the tank.Or trace the hose back until you find the blockage.The hose goes in to the engine to a crossover and comes out the other side to near the thermostat housing,the blockage may be there.
If the other end of your purge line is not connected to anything then that is the problem......it must be reconnected otherwise the cooling system is not pressurized.
