I just found this:

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

Is it the same/better quality then OEM?

thats the one i got recently (from ebay though).. i found it much better than the OEM one - i think the oem one is Valeo..

Ok cool. Ordered :happy2:

An update:

Received the blade today. It’s the wrong one!!! On ECP's site it is the only rear blade that comes up when searching under Golf Mk5's and it’s the wrong part :confused:

Not pleased to say the least. Not what I would expect from ECP.

After doing some searching on Google it seems the part I should have got was A330H not H330 (a Ford part) which is what ECP are selling.

Time to test their customer service department I guess.

A few years ago, I ordered wiper blades online from ECP.  They turned out to be the wrong size but as I had a day off, I decided to take them back to the nearest ECP shop and swap them for the right ones.  The manager wasn't happy, and said I had to return them online.  I read out the Ts & Cs from the back of the invoice - "Alternatively, you may return it to your nearest store."  It all got resolved, but in a very grumpy fashion (them, not me).
Since then, I've always phoned my order through.  Bizarrely there seem to be fewer mistakes.

Thanks for the info. I will keep it in mind.

I'm pleased.  It sounds as though they've improved.
