Need new wiper blades and washer fluid

[sjw]

I'm sure this has been done before...

Car has been banging on at me for ages about needing washer fluid. Don't get me started on how often it "bing"s.

Figured I might as well replace my streaky motherf***ers as well, as they're a couple of years old.

What's the general consensus on here? Bosch blades? Does the OEM washer fluid make a difference?

Cheers

Bosch Aero blades are great. They clean the window so well that it's hard to ever got back to normal ones after. Just a shame that they mug you off with the prices of them when it's essentially a bit of plastic. Can get them a bit cheaper online or from somewhere like Halfords with a Trade Card.

You can buy replacement rubber for the Bosch wipers online as same a few quid but it's not genuine Bosch rubber and just someone making some to fit. Might not be as good quality/last as long

Never heard of anyone buying OEM washer fluid. I bet they'd charge you a premium price if you did buy it. Wouldn't do it myself

Not sure why people think VW washer fluid is expensive, it's not. I've just bought 5l of quantum premium for 15 quid which will last ages. I've never bought any other washer fluid 🤷‍♂️

That's a good price, where from?

Bosch blades - I did mine a few weeks ago. From Halfords, not expensive and the results are amazing.

My old ones had gone hard and useless.

I always compare eBay and ecp for Bosch wipers.
Ebay is usually the cheapest.

I bought 5L for £2.50 not too long ago. Triple QX cherry screen wash. I can't imagine there being any difference tbh.

Got my Bosch Aerotwin blades last year from B and B Components on Amazon. At the time, they were the cheapest I could find. Delivery was free too, which was an added bonus.
