Have you checked the axle for cable ties put on by some "comedians"?

Try taking both wheels off cleaning the mating faces on the wheel and the hub flange and put back on. This worked for me after 3 months of dealer being unable to locate the problem. No clue why but I've seen it posted on here before.

My clicking was not completely rythmic but the rate did rise and fall with road speed. Also varied depending on cornering or not.

I was really careful about how I torqued the wheel nuts up as well.

When your car was in did they actually change the nuts and repack the hubs with grease? There is no way to tighten the nut as it's staked, you must fit a new one.

Check that they acutally DID the TSB sometimes they will fob you off with "nah thats not it mate" stuff.

They did the TSB on mine, still not fixed AND they have the gall to want me to pay for it now. Not happening!
