[Jons1001]

Evening all, can anyone tell what the bosch equivalent is for these wipers from the pic below? Car is 2008 and i bought the AM980S but they dont seem to fit.

Bosch A980S

Cheers, turns out the ones i bought 'AM980S' actually fitted but you have to remove the top plastic bit before fitting.

I always get genuine blades from the dealer, they’re always cheaper than at ECP etc.

Good shout, in this case though Halfords have got them on sale at the moment so thought they were cheap enough. Seem to be decent quality.

I use the Halfords Bosch ones as well, mainly because my dealer never had MK5 wiper sets in stock, and they were twice the price of Halfords Bosch. 

The dealer ones do fit into the arms better though.  The Bosch aftermarket ones with the million plastic adapters need a bit of wrestling sometimes.

Valeo for me https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/valeo-silencio-flat-wiper-blade-set-vf331-485774755 Keep them clean and change every year

Cheers for that. They appear to be OEM

Yes the Valeo are a 5 second fit, even for me 😂

If you get the correct bosh ones then they come with the correct fitting on them already (no adapter)

I can only go by what the Halfords computer says for my reg number..... and they came with an assortment of fittings.

Just ordered the Valeos from CP4L.  £19.55 with the WINTER18 code vs £35.99 on ECP
