MK5 Golf Windscreen Wipers....
« on: January 18, 2012, 09:57:32 pm »
How much should I be looking to pay for a new set? My current set are smearing and almost shot. My local VW dealer like to rip people off for some reason (quoted me £400 for a 1st service - oil and filter change, and a VW 20 mins away from me done it for £105!), so I want to know the rough price before I actually go in there and ask!

Thanks.

get yourself to your nearest TPS.... prices there will be much much cheaper for both the genuine VW aero wipers, or the quantum aerotwin wipers, or alternatively get the bosch aerotwin wipers, whilst your there i'd also strongly suggest you buy a few bottles of the genuine vw screenwash the stuff that vw recommend for the fan jet system... i thought it was a load of twaddle, gave it a go and tbh it really is worth it over the usual supermarket gallon....the concentrated vw stuff is rated down to -70degrees too...



good luck

Thanks guys.
Already have a few bottles of VW screenwash. The VW I get my car serviced from always throw a bottle in free! Lol

So these ones are good?

I only buy genuine blades now, bought some from halfords (own brand) that were about £40/£45 and the VW ones were about £26! Plus every non gen set I've had last about 10 mins  :popcornsoda:

Sorry to drag up an old thread.

I need new wipers, I've just been quoted £27.71 from my local TPS. EuroCarParts have a 25% off offer on at the moment but the Bosch Aero Pack isn't available through their website. I'm sure  Irecall some people finsing wiper cheaply (genuine Bosch) off eBay but I don't know what version I need. My car is an 07 ED30.
