Hello and welcome. VW's have a tendancy to sound like a diesel when they start up, but shouldn't do it all the time.
It sounds like the tappets arent getting enough oil, or maybe the wrong grade oil is being used. Give it an engine flush and oil/filter change using a good quality 10w40 semi synthetic oil and a good brand filter (fram/coopers/unipart etc)
Oh, and please keep the text talk for your mobile, as that took me twice as long to read as it should of!
