New wipers
 
Ive ordered two pairs now for my d3 a8 and both have not come even close to fitting after a bit of research it seems that they are pretty hard to get hold of.
So my question is can anyone provide me with a link to some that actually fit
Thanks in advance
Wayne.

I bought Lucas, they are symetrical compared to asymetrical OEM wipers so in speeds above 70 they do not work well as the airflow does not press them against the screen, feels like it's doing quite the opposite and lifting up. Had to put the old ones back as they are not too bad yet.

I’ve tried a pair of the Lucas’s. Didn’t perform as well or last more than 6 months. OEM last years. Would only recommend OEM.

£45 OEM, fitted price - fixed price serving. Weirdly, I think the fitted price is cheaper than the parts counter price

Correct. They are nearly £60 if you want to buy them from the counter. I would just book in with Audi and get them fitted. Perfect excuse to have a nose around the showroom too :D

Can't go wrong with Michelin. Costs more upfront but they also last long time so cost per mile is not higher and they offer top level performance especially in wet and does not decrease as much as others with age/wear
