One month into ownership and I was planning on setting fire or driving the car off a cliff, all due to an annoying creak.

Half an hour of pushing and prodding, whilst parked on the drive, narrowed it down to the PCM screen area. A quick youtube search and the vents were out (one each side), a prod of the unit suggested the noise was from one side.

A half-turn of the two torque bolts (left-hand side), holding the unit in and no more noise.

Quick toque up of the rest (just to be sure) and SILENCE.

A test-drive over some of the worse roads Cheshire has to offer...and nothing.

Is there any better feeling smokinbiglaugh

Ahhh, that's bliss! I spent months finding a squeak on my Superb, up near the sunroof buttons, and had the whole thing apart to do one bolt up that wasn't torqued properly....
