Yes the dog bone is the fix but.. Much nvh?

Nope, the wife didn't even notice. However I did put it in with the car level with weight on all wheels so nothing was sitting at the wrong angle as the first time I fitted it I just jacked up the front of the car and there was quite a bit.

When do you notice the NVH increase guys? Is it just pulling off and reversing? Thanks.

I’d imagine my dsg is worse than a manual as I have no control over a clutch vs revs but the nvh is noticeable at say 1500rpm pulling away and at idle in drive.
It’s annoying some owners say it’s terrible and others say they don’t notice the nvh.

Seems luck

In a manual, I'd say I only notice it when crawling traffic in 2nd gear with the revs below 1k and I'm to lazy to drop it to 1st

Its like anything we talk about on here - whether the clubby suspension is too harsh, whether DCC is needed with 19's (or at all) or if the car is too noisy.... its very much a perception thing.

I'd say if the tramping really drives you mad, have a go with the dog bone. Its not too expensive and you can easily reverse it if it makes your life even worse.

As a quick update, I've tried it today without the remap, and it was still very noticeable at <50% throttle. I'd guess about 40%. More investigation needed really.
