Why does my Volkswagen Golf's engine make a strange noise?

I have noticed that my Volkswagen Golf's engine is making a strange noise. It sounds like a rattling sound and it's quite loud. I'm concerned that something may be wrong with my car. Has anyone else experienced this issue? What could be causing it and how can I fix it?

It could be a faulty exhaust system that needs to be replaced. I would take it to a trusted mechanic to have it checked.

I had a similar issue and it turned out to be a loose fan belt. It was an easy fix, just tighten it again.

Make sure to regularly check your oil levels. Low oil can cause strange noises in the engine.
