Same with mine... Its the fuel system pressurising. No worries its normal. You just hear it clearer in colder weather. If you pay attention it will dissapear once the car gets fully warmed up.Both my MkV did it and my MkVI does it. Perfectly normal.

Thanks mine only does it when its really cold as well
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with this issue. It was beginning to bug me a lot and I'm glad it isn't anything to serious. I asked the dealer at 500 miles and they said they didn't know. I asked around the forums and some suggested it was my suspension...SMHI have a 2009 GTI with 2,000 miles on it and have been hearing this intermitted loud clicking noise near the right rear area of my car. Sounds kind of like a turn signal clicking noise or a clock ticking noise but it's not a uniform steady noise and mainly does this when the engine is cold and I'm about 2 blocks away from my house in the morning. The clicks vary in speed...sometimes faster and sometimes slower clicking. I suspect it might be a fuel pump noise. Anyone else experience this?
It is a normal fuel pump pressurizing noise. My car is now 4 1/2 years old, still makes the same noise in the morning for a few seconds as is did since car was new, and have never had a failure.I am wondering if any of you ever figured out what the actual issue was? My '08 is doing the exact same thing that the original poster described, but it seems like it is awfully loud to be the fuel pump pressurizing.
If it's an uneven sound, I think it's most likely the problem you mentioned.I have a 2009 GTI with 2,000 miles on it and have been hearing this intermitted loud clicking noise near the right rear area of my car.

The fuel pump may not be the main cause.My mk5 gti is doing it too. It’s certainly coming from the fuel pump. As people have previously said, it happens with in 2 blocks from my house on a cold start. So much that i had my gf sit in the back and listen and she pointed directly at the seat above the fuel pump….and she didnt know any thing was under the seat lol any one get this solved yet?
That's right, get the cleaning done first to see what the specific cause is.You could replace the LPFP but likely will not be a long term solution. When was the last time you replaced fuel filter?
