Wipers

[NickZ]

Hey everyone,

Has anyone replaced the aerotwin wipers on their GTI? If so, do you remember the model number? The Bosch book only has the 6N models.

Cheers

Ive been waiting for someone to ask this. Cause i have no idea.

You cant get a bosch one from like supercheap / autobarn cause they only sell the standard car ones. We have a special clip.

So I guess the only option is through VW. Fantastic - I thought $45 for wipers through SC was bad enough - probably be three digits with VW

Works out to about $A45 for two...

Cheers!

Hi everyone,

Maybe this thread may help

Rehashing an old thread - by the looks of it you can get the Aerotwin refills from Supercheap. I have just measured the front wipers and the measurements are as follows:

Driver: 530mm (assuming this will require BBA530)
Passenger: 475mm (assuming this will require BBA475).

Has anyone managed to change the wipers with the Bosch version rather than through VW? Any issues I should know about?

Also, has anyone managed to replace the rear wiper? Where have they sought a replacement as it is only 325mm?
