You need to adjust your tappets and maybe check your oil level.
The engine on my FTO is starting to get tappy, but then it is an 11 year old car.

There are tools you can buy to adjust the tappets... not sure where you'd get them from... try Halfrauds or any local motorspares dealer!
Or ask your local garage if they can do it for you... shouldn't cost you too much!

Mine is noisy aswell...only when at running temperature though.
All you need is some feeler gauges and then adjust them. My dad has kindly offered
