Hi and welcome Mike.
I hope that you don't have the "Steuerkettenrasseln" (i would translate ist witch timing chain noise).
Look at a few youtube videos and compare to your sound. Maybe it is that sound. If it is so, the repair is a little bit expensive (but the repair should last very long, so it is an investment that you have to do only once)
kind regards, Matze
I have also a TDI Golf as daily driver. Pretty cheap if your other car is a VR6 
If i i have it right in my mind, a repair of the timing chain will cost about 600-1200 Euro and depends on your repair skills. If you do it on oyur own, it will cost about 600 Euro, and a Workshop (is it right for Werkstatt?) will take abot 1200 Euros.
Please don`t forget to chance the Oilpump, because it is the reason for the chain getting longer.
greetings Matze

The sound in that video is not timing chain noise. That should be the "Hydrostössel" and will not be so expensive.
Now it is time for a forum-member near Cologne to check your VR6 and make sure what it is exactly.
greetings Matze
I have a 1995 VR6 Storm.
Why jou have a 2,8 VR6 ??
Why jou have a 2.8 VR6?
I do not. I have have a 2.9 VR6 ABV. This is a video of someone elses car from Youtube.
Bin davon ausgegangen das es sein Motor war 
@ Mike Sorry my mistake
Only American Corrado's had engines 2.8.
Something to do with emission controls.
All UK VR6's should be 2.861 cc. Engine code ABV.
No problem Matoa

Just been searching the UK Corrado Forum and it looks like my problem may be related to tappets.
I think putting some thicker oil in the engine may solve this.
What is German for "tappets" ?
Hydrostössel?
I can not open the Youtube video...
Dont alleviate the symptoms, solve the problem.
You can fight the ticking noise with thicker oil, but if your tappets make the noise even if the engine is warm, they should be replaced.
WFT is okay.
If the noise really comes from the tappets, there should be no problem driving it there (at your own risk!!)
The Youtube problem seems to be a problem on my pc.
I have an appointment with an engineering company here in Koln tomorrow.
Schmitz & Kreiger. Only about 3 km from my house.
Hopefully they can fix her 
Off course they can. Its a normal engine, only the Chains in conjuntion with the oilpump are special...
Important! If they do the chains, renew the oilpump...!!!!
