Title: Wiper Blades
Post by: Brocky_ on 28 March 2021, 11:12

Just posted in an existing thread in the Mk.7 seection but figure I should post here as well, to help others out in future.

Just looking at getting a set of Bosch AeroTwin wipers for my Mk.8 but the Bosch website doesn't list the 8 and when selecting the A864S which go on the Mk.7, Halford's reg-finder says they're not suitable for the 8.

Is anyone able to confirm if the A864S will fit on an 8, please?

Yes they fit perfectly.

Just a heads-up...

The Bosch A864S blades from the Mk.7 fit and work great.  Thanks, Pete!

The rear blade for the Mk.7 - Bosch A282H - doesn't fit.  It's a slightly different fitment and the blade is a little longer than the OEM one. 

The Mk.8 is still not listed on the Bosch website car finder.  Amazon allows me to find the Mk.8 but it will not find any results to compatible parts. 

I looked for a 'Contact Us' page on the Bosch website but there isn't one.  There is a section where one can download .gifs of Llamas, though.  Go figure...

I don't use Twitter but, if anyone does, could you please drop Bosch a tweet and query the situation?  You'd think that there would be a product out by now, considering the length of time that the Mk.8 has been released.

Does anyone know what code fits for the rear?

I've replaced the fronts but my rear is juddering quite badly and the A282H is showing as not compatible.

So the VW part number is 5H6955427.
The Bosch replacement rear wiper blade is A252H.

No one else on this is probably as stupid as me but when I changed my wife’s blades on her golf a few years ago I managed to let the spring loaded arm minus the blade fly into the screen - one cracked screen and one irate wife.
Lesson learnt, I always put a bit of foam pipe insulation over the end of the arm and protect the screen with a magazine. The service mode for the front blades is useful though.

Pretty sure I got that but it doesn't fit the clip is incorrect
I ordered this instead been on for 12000miles no issues at all.

Front wipers same as my my7.5 gti performance.

I got both A864S for front and A252H for rear, and they fit perfectly (2021 CS), and they do a much better job than OEM.
