Topmounts are not great on any VAG car, check these. Also, if not carefull when fitting the rear bush on the front wishbone, you can damage it. I presume you have checked the ARB bush's

VAG multilink is quality bit of kit for knocking.
Car on the flat, h-brake on...Get a decent size power bar , whack it on a wheel nut thats forward of the centre of the hub and rock the car...without tightneing the wheel nut,lol. Get somebody to crawl under and put there hands on each ball joint, you can normally feel the one/all of the offending items.

Might be way off the mark but a mate had a 1.8T Golf with a persistant knocking. He fixed loads of stuff only to eventually find it was a knackered engine mount allowing the engine to move more than normal which caused the manifold/exhaust to clonk into the shell! Think it may have been an aftermarket system though...
