Isn't it something like £30 for a diagnostic check at a dealers? (I don't live in the UK so don't know their prices!)
TBH that's £30 well spent if it shows up the fault, could save you weeks of head scratching & spending money on parts that don't actually need replacing.

it'll be either goodwill, or about £45 (30 mins labour)
or just get to someone with vagcom
the diagnostics on the mk2 is pretty crap though

I think i could have this problem aswell. I get alittle tapping from the engine when it is cold. Once the engine is warm it stops doing it.
my gti is making me cry. 
the exhaust is now rattling and think could be blowing....
its been running sweet up until now

i'll have ur engine off you
seriously though, just drive have a look under the car to see what the rattle is with the exhaust.
could simply be a loose heat shield, or a perished rubber bung/hanger.
if the exhaust is going, just grab a 2nd hand mk3 one. there's always a way forward.

good news, the daddy is back up and running, ht lead had pretty much snapped inside and was arking. this had shafted a plug.....
so as earlier mentioned i ordered new plugs and ht leads, paid for 24 hour delivery, 3 days on leads still havent arrived... plugs arrivied today after a weeks wait to find they were the incorrect ones. what annoyed me more was that i asked the bloke for the part number to be sure, but he said not to worry as he can assure me they are the correct ones.. to$$er......
at least he is running sweet again.....oh and also fitted the k&n air filter today.... noticed a reasonable amount of difference in performance and sound
thanks for all you guys and girls help

Good to hear that you got it fixed mate. I bet you weren't enjoying driving it etc when it had the problems. It isnt good driving a mis-firing car, had the problem myself.
