Believe me it was not loyalty to genuine VW parts that made me pay $60 a pair. Rather it was the fact that my Bora (2003) has wiper blades in a fancy housing which may have, or may not have, been intended to stop wiper lift a high speed. However following your information (many thanks) and the fact that I do not drive at high speed in the rain any more I will look further at alternatives. Including checking the Golf I have become the temporary custodian of.
Later this week we are heading off again with the caravan and I will carry out some more deatiled economy checks and get back with details. Like I have said the car has never been driven with fuel economy in mind although it doen't get thrashed, just driven somewhat briskly when the circumstances permit.
