Is it a click...click....click in sympathy with speed when you have steering lock applied? as opposed to general clicks and knocks?
If so, that is usually outer CV joints, the inners hardly ever go, I was told.
Did they replace the CV, of fob you off with a new boot and grease?

Yes, the clicking noise increases with acceleration and it is apparent only when steering lock applied. I had a 97 Passat previously with the typical front suspension problem which was evident driving in a straight line as a series of clicks and knocks, particularily on poor / uneven road surfaces.
It's definitely a new CV joint installed by a local trustworthy, mechanic, but it's a pattern part rather than a genuine VAG part ....perhaps this is the problem? Is there a chance this could be a part poorly re-conditioned ?
I also heard the same about the inner joints as there is less range of movement.
