Title: Which wipers, currently using Bosch A937S
Post by: camfollower on January 23, 2013, 09:04:59 pm
I've been using Bosch Aerotwin Flat A937S and they've been pretty good, but think they could do with a change after about 18k miles. 

So what do you guys use / recommend?
The A937S are about £20.

It's either those or the Valeo Silencio's. I've got a set to fit when the snow buggers off. £20 for the Bosch seems good. Sure they are about £35 in Halfords.

Got a Valeo blade fitted on the rear as well with no issues.

Lots recommend the OEM replacement as well.

^^^^ I have the Bosch ones. They're wipers and they do their job. I bought them as someone posted a link to them on ECP a while back with a BIG discount, happy days.  :happy2:

I use Bosch A980S Aerotwin front, A330H rear. They are quiet, smooth, effortless & efficient.

Found the A937S for fronts and A330h for rears for £30 total from ECP. Anyone got any better than a 20% code?

I couldn't either via search... They don't have it in the title...
Here's a link though: http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Volkswagen_Golf_2.0_2006/p/car-parts/car-body-parts-and-car-exhaust/wipers/wiper-blade/?485774020&1&2076b4dd6e73577e8927037e50d62b1ea8828775&000604

A980S is what very late 2005 onwards cars use on the front, if that's why you can't find this part number?

Not very exciting. Porsche Brake sensor, anti rattle shims and Cera-Tec Brake Lube, all for the NQS BBK. None of it really necessary but we shall see.

EDIT: Just paid and the code worked a treat matey!!  :notworthy:

I think you'll find those are necessary. Always worth doing a job properly.

You can give me your Pescy's seeing as I saved you 30 quid :laugh:
