OK update on this for all researching this
All seems to be ok, over reaction on my part
Should have researched better
I've since learnt ball joints need to go on top of TT arms to mate with the hubs
Also seems they were S3 hubs all along, so still can't comment on wether passat hubs will work but they share the same part number so can assume there the same and that they will fit
Big fail on my part, sorry for any misinformation
