My OEM ones from TPS, with correct part numbers, are both a shade under 22"

And as noted earlier and now confirmed by measuring, my OEM ones (in a drawer beside me) are also both 22".+++

(The ones actually on the car now are 24" and 23")

Bringing this subject up again, I have finally replaced the wiper blades. Getting the right ones is somewhat difficult with different suppliers coming up with different lengths.

So I bought these last week.

Both blades 22", curved passenger side and drivers side has a spoiler, and less than £9 for the pair. Not sure on the longevity, but they were cheap.

You only realise how bad the old ones are when you have a go with the new ones.

Interestingly, the same wiper blades are used on A6 C5 and A8 D2.

I'd like to revoke my recommendation for 2 wiper blades in one kit: 4B0 998 003. This is Valeo kit and quality if awful in comparison with SWF blades ordered separately: 4B0 955 425 + 4A0 955 425 B

I can also confirm rubbers 895 955 429 A are of great SWF quality and is very easy to change. No tools are required.
