Wiper blades for Audi A8 D3
So, maybe a silly topic, but it may help someone with getting it right on the first time
I thought I will just share the light on fitting type and sizes after after spending almost £70 just to fit new wiper blades, doh. I couldn't find any info here, only for D2s, so there you go. After getting it wrong with Bosch blades I went with Lucas Clearvison blades only because shop assured me that this is the correct fitting and they had nothing in 24'' size from AeroTwins >>> 2003 - 2008 Fit: Direct fit Length: 24'' (both) http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/audi-a8...-wiper-blades/ >>> 2009 on Fit: Push Button Fit Length: 27'' & 21'' http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/audi-a8...n-wiper-blade/ >>>>>>>>>>>>>> In regards to length on 2003-2008 D3s For 3 years I had 22'' or 23'' blades fitted and there was nothing wrong with them, but during the recent purchase I realised that they should be 24'' and they fit well. But if you have 23'' blades they will do the job no problem I fitted Lucas ClearVision LWDF24C [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG]

I would also strongly recommend you guys applying this coating when changing blades.
The difference it makes is unbelieveable. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthrea...7826#post67826

I have a 2008 facelift car. Seems my blades arent correct. Both are 21inch.
This matches for the shorter one but not the longer one for the '2009 onwards' car. |

According to this, mine are 22inch each, measures correctly.
http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/audi-a8...-wiper-blades/ Where did you get info that its 24 inch each for the 2003 - 2008 cars? |

There is no longer wiper from 2009 on EKTA, they are the same part number for all D3s - why do you think one should be longer they should be 580mm?
