New wiper blades.
« on: September 09, 2011, 07:40:39 am »
After crap weather all week got a new pair yesterday. Not until you change them do you realise how bad the old one's were. £31.00 well spent. :smiley:

I got fed up of paying £25 upwards so I took the plunge and bought some for a whopping £6 from Amazon! They work a treat.......for now! To be honest if they last twelve months I'll get them again.

Just checked and they have gone up to £10.45! Snaffle'em while you can boys and girls, lol.

Anyone know how much the rear one is from the stealers?

And if its pricey, is there a cheaper option online?

i purchased a bosch rear one and found it to be better than the OEM one...

i got both fronts and rear (bosch) from ebay:

Good, quick service - used them twice before

Front pair from dealers are £13.00 each but then the dreaded v.a.t. Rear one is around £7.00 all in if i remember correct.

I've had Valeo Silencio blades on my car since May last year, about 20k, and they still work well.

Bought a rear blade the other day from Brum VW for £7.73 inc. VAT.   Could perhaps have put a bit more effort in and found cheaper elsewhere but the old blade graunching across the glass was doing me nut in so went OEM as I was passing the dealers anyway!

http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Volkswagen_Golf_2.0_2007/p/car-parts/car-body-parts-and-car-exhaust/wipers/wiper-blade/?485776410&1&150480e2ea654af4a3c065abef2c0ec65305252a&000604
