Stick to the oem dealer wipers.  I put bosch on and within a few months they were noisy and just smeared the water around the screen.  Back to vw for oem wipers and they've probably been on for 2 years and are still perfect

Anyone know the price of a rear blade from a dealer? Halfrauds want 18 quid for their own make one!

I've bought stuff on a few occasions from TPS near me.

I think the amount of discount you get depends on the trade your in but i could be wrong. However they do sell to individuals and i've got between 8-12% off.

To answer my own question; £6.94. You could buy 2 and get plenty of change by avoiding Halfrauds! :stupid:

:confused: I've bought from them three or four times, and they've never mentioned that!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
