Discuss.
Also best place to buy. Nearly wet meself when I saw Halfrauds wanted £60 for a full set! :surprised:
-
Bought my last set from these people
http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/carwipers
Find you car on their site , think they were about £30 for both fronts and rear
Some cars are 937's others are 980's think the change was around mid 2007
-
Got mine from VW and paid just under £35 for a full set...
-
Bosh Aerotwin :happy2:
-
Yep, either the Bosch Aerotwin from eurocarparts with offer code or OEM from a dealer. Won't go wrong with either of them :happy2:
-
Got Bosch aero twins on my golf & m5. No complaints & euro usually have them cheap
-
After three failed attempts trying to get the correct ones from eurocarparts I thought I would try my local Skoda dealership. Both front aero wipers for £27 inc vat, so about £6 cheaper than ECP which is a result!
-
Yeah I found ECP site crap at finding the correct bosch wiper numbers, even phoned them up & was still confused on what front set I needed :rolleye:
Got the bosch rear one from ECP ebay for £7.81 delivered, result.
-
I always just buy genuine ones from the dealer or genuine off ebay, find they are usually the best....
-
Oem from tps. £30ish
-
They get replaced every year in the autumn. I just buy whatever's easiest - internet, or Halfords if I'm passing.
I guess that qualifies as one of the least helpful reviews on this site - sorry.
-
Was toying with OEM from the dealer, but my rear wiper from there was crap from the off. It has always juddered and squeaked since it was brand new. Is that usual for the Golf?
-
Bosch all day long, do a search there's a billion posts on it... I'd also clay your glass before fitting new. :happy2:
-
Good tip, never thought of using clay on the screen! Cheers. :happy2:
-
I got some free Bosch ones when I had a chip on my windscreen repaired free of charge. :happy2:
-
That sounds like a good deal. Where's the toffee hammer, dear?
-
£18 at ecp at the moment with the offer. thats for bosch aerotwin
-
Wiper blades picked up this afternoon - Front set 1Q2998002 £23.18 :smiley:
-
Just get the refills for aero blades. 10£ delivered on ebay. 1min job. And its like new 1..
-
I went for the ebay seller that Garrard recommended in the end. £27 delivered for a 3 piece set and they've already arrived. Must go leave some feedback before I forget!
-
It seems most people are using the bosch aerotwin. I am using those too, however my new ones are a little different. I used to have OEM ones from the dealer, which means bosch just without the logo and got the new ones in October, online for about 30€.
The spoiler design is different in these even though i'm convinced they are genuine. In the old ones the spoiler was offset towards the back (upper side) so as to be more aerodynamic. In the new ones, the spoiler is right in the center and less rounded/more angular than the previous ones. The clip is also different, those are called multi-clips. I like them less because the clip is a little bulkier comparing to the previous ones in order to accommodate more connectors. Its funny i even noticed it but i did, and then it started bothering me, lol. Wondering if anyone else has had the same experience.
-
Just paid £29.95 for the front pair fitted oem
-
I change mine once a year, seeing this thread yesterday had reminded me to change them so I popped into the VW Stealers and £39.54 later for the front and back blades all's good.
No wonder they're called the Stealers!! :laugh:
-
got my front bosch areos from windowwipers.com less than £20 delivered
-
Anybody tried PIAA blades, pricey but supposed to be good
-
i find genuine the best
Also now you can get refills. I paid 15 euros for front set and working great

Always rock Genuine, VW or TPS whoever you can get access too :innocent:
-
HaHa, sorry chaps.
I have enquired about a GB but Im not sure what the response will be anyway, its probably abit cheeky really as I get them at such a good price but he can only say no.
Well - unless he decides I'm a cheeky barstewards and decides never to give me good rates again :sad1:

Just bought a second set (937s) for Mrs P's A3. Good prices and quick delivery, but I've had no feedback from them yet, so they won't be getting any from me until they do! I'm a firm believer that the seller should always go first.
-
^ They may as well these days (seller leaving FB first) as they can't leave anything but good feedback, used to be different though didn't it.
-
where's the group buy :popcornsoda:
be ok if this site keeps up long enough :P
-
Falls over a lot just recently!
-
Sorry chaps been having a few issues of my own to sort out lately so this went on the back burner a bit!
I have made the inital contact with the supplier but will chase it up :happy2:
-
i paid £45 from VW for a front and back set. cant beat OEM
