Same here. You can spray a de-mister in them and get a decent glass polish for the outside. It helps no end...

bit of a weird one, i have noticed my boost seems a bit speradic at times, only just had the opportunity to video it,

is the kind of boosting in the video normal for a stock 2.0 tfsi?

thanks in advance

Have you replaced the DV for the uprated version from VW?

Yep, the stock one blew and vw uprated it under warranty to the latest version
