Don't buy the bosch, they are utter :sick: :sick:

Within a month they become noisy and just smeared the water around.  The same happened on our mini, swapped both sets for oem from dealers and they are perfect.  I know a few friends who've had the same experience.  Some have swapped for halfords own brand wipers (not aero wipers) and found them to be far better

I have just got a set of Bosch blades and they are excellent. Cost £35 from a local indie which I thought was a bit steep. Good tip to increase the lifespan of blades is to clean them regularly with kitchen roll and some vinegar or window cleaner. It is amazing how much cr*p comes off them!

as said above genuine ones are from a few supplyiers (however offers the best deal at the time to vw ) often valeo or bosch . i just bought some aero blade for my passat from costco for £7 each made by goodyear , they seem spot on !
