Title: Cost of genuine wiper blades?
Post by: icenutter on 23 March 2009, 19:52

Anyone any idea of the cost of some genuine wiper blades from the dealer?

And anyone know if there is any difference between these and some from Bosch Aerotwins from GSF?

Thanks

I think they cost in the region of £22 from VW.

And ask for discount, they will all happily knock a minimum of 10% off if you ask.  Go for the genuine blades, i made the mistake of buying the bosch versions from halfords and they were much noisier and streaked badly.  I then purchased a full set from the dealers and they gave me 20% off :smiley:

 I can confirm they were just less than £30 with about 5% discount for all three wipers from Harrogate VW.

Thats strange, as my old genuine ones have a Bosch part number on them!

Just swapped them over to Bosch and the numbers matched up.
