VW Bora 1.9TDi VEP is ticking/clicking (Weblog Nikos)

Greetings,
I'm having a problem. I recently bought a Bora Variant, and I've noticed that it's making a clicking noise, which is difficult to locate.
I was in my workshop, where I've been for many years, and I was told that VEPs (presumably referring to a specific type of vehicle or engine) generally run much rougher. I am also aware of this, and the noise it's making is not a normal sound for a diesel engine. In addition to that, he blows air out of the oil filler neck.
Now, the experts are arguing, with some saying it's the hydraulic system making the noises, while others believe it's the cylinder head.

It runs well, it doesn't have any misfires, and I think the 110 horsepower is definitely helping.

Now the question is, what could it be? I don't want to replace anything just based on a suspicion, as my financial resources aren't exactly plentiful at the moment.
I urgently need help with this, as I need to use it to get to work every day. [/list]

I'd be happy to send you videos of the sound via WhatsApp.

Best regards,
Nikos
