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

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

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 Last edited by snapdragon; 13th February 2018 at 10:52 AM. |

Just wiper blades. Crazy price I know. TPS did a tiny discount and said they are a superseded part but superseded by nothing. I'll have to dig out the old invoice.

I love the genuine Audi ones. I used to have Valeo blades on my car which were quite nice, until I tried the Audi ones on a courtesy car. I changed them immediately.

Probably get shot down for this but I have used Aldi wipers on the D2 for some years now and they are great, every time they pop up as specials I buy a few sets, usually change them every 18 months or so and TBH they have been perfect
Got BOSCH of ebay for the RS6, at least they come in BOSCH boxes, but who knows with the bay..do seem to work very well though
