Disconnected the sound actuator.  What a difference!  I was never a fan and now I can have everything in sport without the pseudo sound.  Result.

Grateful for your advice on this, I tried to do disconnect the actuator yesterday but couldn't move the plug, not very easy when I couldn't really see what I was doing because of the poor access, but didn't want to put too much pressure on the plug when I was trying to pull it down.  I moved the little locking tab on it but couldn't get it to move and just ended up skinning the top of my hand in the process!

Maybe I'll just wait until its service next month and ask the dealer to turn it off with VCDS.

Where did you purchase these from I'm considering getting a set and are they easy to fit

You can purchase them here http://shop.ahw-shop.de/einstiegsleisten-schutzfolie-schwarz/silber-golf-7-vii-original-vw-zubehoer?c=2710 and installing them is not a problem so just go for them :wink:

Thanks mate. Also I'm on my phone so. Can't translate the page but is that the cost for a five door or just the fronts.

On the right side on this page you can see the price for 2 door option and above price in square you can choose 4 door option and the price is the same.

Fitted some Bosch Aero Twins after it rained properly for the first time over the weekend and I realised how crap the wipers really were!

They are amazing compared to the crap OEM ones.  Why VW don't fit something decent from the factory I'll never know!

Last 4 VWs i've had crap wipers, the Aerotwins are the best i've tried.

Been to DTUK to get the sticker put on the new box (Trevor) and get my maps altered (I was trying out some experimental ones before Andrew put the new boxes out to the general public).
