Yep just had mine serviced at Audi and as said the wipers are fixed price at £49 which is cheaper than TPS (£26.xx +VAT)

I struggled to find any reputable decent aftermarket ones

Comes to around £65

I tried to book the Audi wiper ‘service’ online. But you have to call them up. I lost interest at that point, plus wasting a few hours at Audi doesn’t appeal. So I ordered the Lucas blades - LWDF24C - JulianHicks and Marcin recommended in another thread on here. Haven’t arrived yet. But fingers crossed they’re decent.

Those are the one I have after the thread above. Had them for over a year, can’t complain to be honest for the money but cannot compare to Audi ones as I have never had Audi ones.

Yeh, although for me I can work from anywhere as long as there is wifi and a phone signal. So no time wasted. Fitted cost was less than TPS for supply only...

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good loss leading loophole, I just wasn’t in the mood to go and sit in the stealers.
