If it's a rattle from the rear of the engine, then the cam-chain tensioner is not working. This can be the result of low oil pressure, so I suggest you have that checked first before you cause irreparable damage by continuing to drive it.

50k 2.0 petrol sounds noisier at speed than I reckon a Diesel will. At about 80 my 2003 petrol Passat is much louder than even my old 1996 105k Accord (petrol) ever was. I forget how many RPM it is doing at 80mph but it is less than my Accord but still noisier.

I have got used to it now but when I first bought the Pasty I had to keep checking the badge on the boot at start-up to make sure it was not a diesel as it clatters a little!!! So all in all the diesel is probably quieter :p

Mind you door trim and seat belt buckles rattle so much it is a pleasure to hear the nice sounding engine ;)
