Polo exhaust rattle

#1

Hi,
For a while now my polo has been making an annoying rattle sound when
the engine is running at around 2000rpm. I have found the noise to
becoming from the exhaust rattling against the sump. I've checked the
exhaust mounts and they seem fine? Is it possible the engine needs
tuning?

Thanks in advance

It's definitely the exhaust as I temporarily put a bit of cardboard
between the sump and the exhaust and the rattle went away.
