Looks like i'll be selling a set of powerflex ones then!!!!!!!!

Since having the cupra and powerflex bushes put in mine I've never heard them squeeking or creaking

Cupra AND powerflex?????

I have the Front powerflex ones mate.....Is that the same on yours????

Cupras on the console bushes and Powerflexes on the front ones seems to be the recommendation - certainly no funny noises out of mine, apart from when they were bedding-in after having the car lowered a little. I really wouldn't worry - it's the standard ones STARTING TO FALL APART that causes the noise, which shouldn't be a problem with the Powerflex ones...

They shouldn't creak or squeek. I've done 60,000 miles on my Cupra/Powerflex bushes and they're as good now as the day they were fitted. They do make teh car a touch more fidgety around the straight-ahead position but it's worth it for the extra "dartiness" from the steering.

Not sure if you have read this but it is very useful and shows the cupra and powerflex bushes
