Slight rattle on cold morning MK4 Gold TDI150

[aoyk11]

Hi,

My golf has a slight rattle coming from the engine on start, only when the weather is cold, ie 10 deg or less. Has anyone had the same, im worried that it could be a cylinder fault hence big bucks.
My car is a 2002 MK4 5 door golf TDI 150 and i do high mileage around 35000mls\year but keep to service intervals from the main dealer.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks

when was the last time the car was serviced. is it top end rattling. could be taking a while for oil to get to the valves cams etc.. could be a blocked or incorrect oil filter. even the wrong grade of oil. if it only does this when its cold this is the most common problem.
