Yep, definitely sounds like some CV joint problems.  Swap those puppies
out.

Not a Scirocco, but its a wana be :) Its the 96 Passat VR6.I hear a
clicking at low speed. The rate is speed dependant. It sounds like its
coming from the DS front wheel.At speeds >30 it starts to be come a
vibration that can be felt in the steering. On accelleration its
smoother, on idle it can be felt, it diminishes turning left, but
returns on driving straight, it worsens turning right, decelleration is
bad.Tire pressures are correct.I replaced the front pads on the brakes
on sunday, no problem then, nor yesterday. This morning was a shock.I
checked to see if the tire was loose by pushing on the top of the tire
with my foot. No movement. I tried grabbing the tire at 9 & 3 and
turning it. Nothing there it seems. The tire IS a 215/50/15 that needs
replacement (tires are here already). No lead weights seem to be
missing.Any ideas welcomed!TIA guys
