Have the computer scanned. If you have a service engine or emissions light on then a service code has been stored in the computer and only a scan will tell you what the problem is.
If the oil level got too low, it may have caused serious internal damage. If that is the case, the noise usually gets louder and/or faster, the faster you rev the motor. Only an experienced mechanic can determine for sure exactly what the extent of the damage is.
check your dip stick. the engine is a closed loop system.if any leaks accur the engine will run rough. mine had this fault. by taping around dip stick cured fault.
it sounds like your thermostat is on its way out get this checked asap. the other thing the fan may not be working correctly or sometimes they work intermitently.
I had a golf a few years back, I had the same fault but it was the radiator had blocked up although there was water in it etc it still overheated until I changed the rad.
To be sure get the thermostat checked and then have the radiator flushed through.
The wiring is different, if your Golf had headlights with H4 bulbs then changing to high beam turns dip off. The GTi has separate dip and high lights, on high beam dip stays on (all 4 bulbs on).
thats the risk you run when you have a third party not liscensed by volkswagen mess with your ECM. take it to the tuning shop that did the remap work and ask them to redo it because it messed your engine up, if you make a big enough stink they might do it for free.
