Elusive wipers
Anyone got good recommendations for wipers? I need some new ones but they seem to be quite elusive as a set for the A8
|
Lucas ones are decent. Or Audi do set for around £40

If you go to Audi Dealerships then they have to do a supply and fit wiper blades swap service for a fixed fee, and its cheaper than just buying the wipers from Audi, but they change them for you too and probably give you a nice coffee and wash your car haha. . . . crazy but worth doing

I ended up getting a pair at TPS, but at £65'ish :( |

That's the current price for blades? I once got them for £25 from TPS, next time round was £46 with trade discount!
Worrying that a dealer says they can't get them, maybe complain to Audi UK? The originals are SWF - you can find them online - many brands/ebay/aliexpress but pretty much always LHD - they fit but would lift at speed instead of pressing down. Related but not Audi - have you seen the current Mercedes wipers - they have had these for a few years now... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07AZHkkLR0k |

Buy just the rubbers https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2pcs-Auto...MAAOSwwbdWOGoL
For me at least it does not matter if I buy genuine or cheap blades still need to change them at least twice a year so I don't see the point throwing money away for genuine every time. |
Cost me £52 from Audi Warrington about 3 years ago, not long after I got the car. Still on the car now. There was no mention of the deal where they fit them at the time. I’ve since learned of it here.
