Bosch wiper blades

Post by mikealpha60 »

Does anyone know if these are OEM fit or do you need to make some changes?

They are OEM fit.

For the pair, set A980S does the job.

Just bought some last week for my roc - excellent blades and take literally 2 seconds to fit - positive lock button to release the old ones and then the new ones simply slide in and lock in place.

I got them from http://www.wiperblades.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ......they had the best price going - £20 delivered for a pair! Halfords wanted almost £40 for the same product!!!!

Ordered off ebay (weds), arrived Friday and fitted saturday. Absolutely awesome so far! Tested in quite a lot of rain over the weekend. They make less noise than the OEM fits too

Bosch blades are way better than OEM blades... I agree 100%... Bought from wiperblades.co.uk as well and delivered to Ireland they are even cheaper than anywhere locally I could find...

Think I might get some of these because my wiper blades are poor. They smear all the time. Considering car was bought new 6 months ago oem blades seem to be rubbish

I would swear by Bosch wiper blades. The Scirocco is probably the 11thcar I had in my driving history, and over the years I've tried many manufacturers, but always found that Bosch clear the window more thoroughly and seem to last.

The OE blades were rubbish, massive juddering and hitting the windscreen frames despite all efforts to clean the screen.

Got the Bosch blades, no judder and it's been on the car 14 months now. :yes: :yes:
