Bought a Dogbone upgrade bush from awesome last week fitted it today - what a difference!!!!! Power is directed directly to the wheels - NO wheel hop / spin - Downside: VIBRATION at Idle/ Slow speed - More of a review after a little longer drive tomorrow!

definitely worth the money, i love mine. didn't love stripping the threads in my subframe fitting it though
Lots of Vibration though! not sure if it has anything to do with the REVO Map - others have noted extra vibration with REVO Map
give it a month and it will die down quite a bit and then you'll get used to it.
Found a stream of water running into drivers footwell 
order some butyl tape from Ebay
had a chance to fit it today so here is what I did:
Door card removed here you can see the inner Steel Panel which is leaking below the speaker
Also spotted a liquid trace which i thought may be due to the Wind deflectors I have fitted but I now think it is the silicone spray I used in the window runners
Here you can see the damaged rubber seal strip - it was full of water like a sponge and falling apart
Door in bits
I Could not remove all the rubber strip - Sticky stuff remover could!
The Butyl Strip
New strip on door panel - Double layer on bottom edge!!
This was a PITA to remove
I boroke the clip but it still locks onto the lock mechanism
Remembered to tighten the Window locators
Window back in - All done

cheers thinking of getting them painted for next winter - maybe powder coated!
on the topic of wheels I have been toying with polished paces on the Audi rims - What do people think?
and leave the grey backing
will be Sanded pack to bare metal and polished - not lacquered as these are not all year alloys! Lots of Autosol

Car has started throwing up
If cleared when engine cold code comes back instantly on start up if engine warm no code on start up - Going to get a set of glow plugs to begin and see where I end up.
I have not yet replaced any Glow plugs in this car.

My experience with polished, lacquered wheels is an anual refurb! They look awesome but are a complete bitch to keep that way even with all the correct cleaning precautions! But they do look awesome, so do it!

Found out mine has a little play in it, and both wishbone rear busher are badly perished and cracked, how hard was this to fit? think i am definately going to get one though!
Anybody know what rear wishbone bushes i would need to upgrade them? cheers Josh
you wont be driving over them kurbs anymore 4x4ing
cant believe ive blown a hose
and the sfs ones are not the one ive broke
Be careful on the TDi as the vibrations on tick-over are really increased with the poly dog-bone. I hated it on my Leon and was going to switch it back to a new OEM one. If you can, have a sit in someone elses car before doing it as you might find it too intrusive. I did, but then I'm getting old these days!
