creaking top mount

I had this on mine after having some stupid independent garage replace console bushes and n/s/f bearing. Did my nut in for ages. Anyway, took it to a VAG specialist to sort the bearing out - he noticed the creaking without me saying anything and sorted it out. Apparently he just slackened off some of the nuts holding the n/s/f shock in place until it went and then tightened them back up, it's not come back since. He thinks the shock was slightly twisted or something like that.

Might be worth trying that first
