To be honest, it is probably piston slap. My UK Turbo (MY99) does it when cold and is gone within 2 minutes.
The pistons are made so that they fit properly when hot, not cold.

I did'nt know scoobies came 1.6 with a Turbo,
Anyway which oil are you using?, like said it may be piston slap which is quiet common on the later models. Nothing to worry about.
Nice car btw
