DTUK fitted, massive difference! Easy enough too. We'll see how it goes...

Had a look underneath to see if i could determine where a creaking noise is coming from, nothing evident, may be the usual culprits - the wishbone bushes.

Been contemplating giving the engine bay a clean so this morning i set too and cracked on, probably wont start in the morning cause of all the damp now  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Just to add perspective, with the stiffer springs fitted to mk7 CS & 7.5 TCR, DCC works well with 19" wheels on a Golf!

I think this may be meant for @Willni's post?

Today I installed my dashcam.

It was an absolute doddle routing the wire so that it cannot be seen. I went up along the edge of the roof lining, down the inside of the A pillar by pulling it away from the door seal, it then went though near the footwell light, under the foam there and then back under the edge of the centre console.

20 min job.  :smiley:

Fitted Rocket wires puddle lights this afternoon. Excellent instructions from them and a doddle to fit. Photos are one with flash and one without.

Approx 15 mins each side. You have to remove the door panel but only have to disconnect one connector. You can just let the door card hang (empty the door pockets first).

Very pleased with the result.

Yes, I think it is those bushes but reluctant to let VW sort it out, so may buy the bushes and fit them myself.
