So I have now noticed when turning on the driveway with a fair amount of lock on and whilst moving that there is a clicking sound coming from what sounds like the front off side wheel, I've checked the cv boots and they are all good but I did have both replaced 6 months ago.. I'm wondering if the joints are worn inside and this is my trouble? Any ideas? Advice? How can I confirm either way or am I looking in the wrong place..

May just happen on the move, sometimes it the clamp isnt tight enough it can escape. When you had your cv replaced recently - where was the part from?
Unfortunately everything points towards a cv joint. I've had many issues with these in the past!!

This is what I would do:
Buy a driveshaft instead of just the CV joint from here -
J & R Trading (UK) Ltd Store
they come with a 2 year warranty and are very reasonably priced (around £50). Obviously therefore if you have any issues in 2 years they replace for free (I have used these guys a lot and have never had issues - there stuff is well made)
Change out the driveshaft.
Where are you based? If it is local I can do it for you
Cheers

Result mate, just got your message. Has the clicking stopped? From what you said I would hope it has as it sounds as if the inner cv was gone.

Sorry mate I should have said. I think they are 12 sided torx bits. Good news though, he'll of a lot easier than changing a cv joint too and a damn side less messy!

Yeah I would expect that if you had an issue with the cv. May we'll have been the source of your clicking

Oh right! No minimal play in this is something I always experience and has never caused me any problems.

Garage job that mate. I wouldn't do it myself on an auto as you have to monitor the temperature on vagcom and fill it using a special pump. If you get it wrong the box will be toast.
I'll steer clear of that then..It's been serviced every year since new and I had the can belt done 2 years ago, only 67000 on the clock now but would like to keep it in tip top condition..I love it but would smile more if the mpg was a bit higher!! I guess the Quattro and auto and weight of the car as it's an estate are all against big mpg figures,,,still love it though .
