Default vw gti vr6..... can anybody help?

Ok, sorry this is not a honda question, but i know that there are some VW guys on here. I have been on this site now for about 9 years now.... wow. Probably when Jeff started his turbo craze. Used to work with the guy. Anyways, can anybody help with the vr6 motor? Im looking at buying a gti vr6 with 85000 miles on it. Its an 01. I test drove it last night, and loved it, but there is one concern. In 2nd and 3rd gear there is clicking noise (very faint, sounds like a card in a bike tire kinda noise) Any idea on what this is? I know this is not a whole lot of info, but any advice would be great.
