Hiya has anyone bought and fitted retro aero wiperblades to thier mk3 yet? I have recently seen them reviewed in auto express and am intrested in purchasing them. Are they anygood?
Cheers
Edit:Meh I've jus read an earlier post about these! My bad! lol
-
I've bought some cheapies offa ebay for £15 they are a very good blade but without a full wiper/arm conversion they look a lil odd on the mk3.

These are available from VW for about £23, correct fit for mk3

-
I suppose my seat is quite high lol. They are really quiet and do their job well.I got mine from ukbulb they might differ makesif you bought them somehwer else? like if I did fork out 30squid for the bosch ones maybe theyed be more intergrated? who knows. lolol

Mine were from ace_parts_uk, I was out in heavy rain last night and they were amazing! Never been so excited about a wiper haha
Gona order one for the rear wiper now :tongue:
-
You can get them from VW and there about the same as non genuine ones, i paid £16.44 for a pair and there great with wear indicators telling you when they need replacing, the part number for a mk3 is: 1J2 998 002
Hope this helps

richie - if you find anyone selling singles please can you let me know... i have only found people selling pairs... if you can only find pairs too do you fancy splitting the cost?
i have the aero wipers on my mk3 and i have the funny wiper arm look too :undecided: when i was in vw the other day I looked at a olop (polo) which had aero wipers and plat arms and they looked the nuts... does anyone know a way of doing a conversion and how to go about it? parts needed, skills needed etc... ?
-
ive just ordered some aswell as some other bits from vw :)
-
surely if they fit a mk3 they fit a mk2 too, took the blades off my mk2 to fit the wifes mk3 while its off the road, and there the same!!! :wink:

sorry about the link size :laugh:
-
dude - just what I was looking for - thank you!
-
no problem - I have saved that link as one of my favourites, once the cash flow improves I will be getting them as well.
from time to time they appear on ebay as well may be a few quid cheaper.
