Front or back 
Wishbone bushes, Top mounts, rear beam bushes

top mounts for sure. You gonna be doing the work yourself?

top mounts? i dont know about th ework am not that technical, all i know is that this clicking noise happens when i turn usually in first/second gear, my cousin has a similar problem on his car and he says its the cv joint..... so if it is top mounts how big a job is it the noise definaelty comign from the front and maybe driveshaft dunno though  any ideas???

sounds like cv joint. best take it garage get it ramped up and have a look.

any idea how much it wud cost i wud liek a genuine vw one.

and is a cv joitn different to the cv boot because i had that done a few months ago on the drivers side,

also if it were to be the cv joint then why does it click on both left and right i assuem theres two of these on the front so they cant of both gone at the same time?

thanks

Was the old boot split and lost grease?  Could be the CV joint inside was dry and got damaged.  The CV joint can be replaced on its own without replacing the whole driveshaft, not an easy DIY job though.  Seems quite a coincidence?

If it aint the CV I'd suggest a dodgy top-mount bearing?

now you've edited the description I would say CV joint also

[nadlad]

the cv boot was split and it lost most its grease this was later changed though,

ok so if it is the cv joint damaged then would it not only do the clicking on one side howcome it does it on both sides does this mean i need to buy 2 outer cv joints...

anyone know what i will need them is this problem completely independent from the cv boot...
