Most probably anti-roll bar bushes or suspension top mounts.

Its a common thing on mk4's a vw specialist should ve able to diagnose the problem in no time.

to confirm properly will need to hear noise
check anti roll bar where it fixes to the subframe should see wear
check steering arms for play the joint under the boot
check suspension top mountings for excess play
