Is it a solid lift cam or hydraulic?

Cam belt may have slipped a tooth / or camshaft worn due to lack of oil changes . if it still run`s ok with no missfires then it is a easy repair by either changing the cam belt or the camshaft and doing a service on it .

I would suggest that if there is anything wrong with the top end of the golf that it means that maintenance has been skipped, there are plenty of other golfs around, move on

could just be the tappets wanting ajusted or the camshaft is worn, not a big job but labour costs will make it expensive

you dont say what type of noise but it could be just the tappets but get a mechanic to check it for you
