[FUZZY]

I need to replace front and rear wipers on my B5 RS4, i was thinking about replacing withe Aero wipers, Does anybody no anything about or done this ?? im persuming i would need to change arms as well. any help welcomed.

Simple job, VAG-Parts sell them on their site as seperate kits (Front\Rear) for the B5 RS4.

My B5 had the aero wiper conversion done before I got it. Personally, I would have stuck with the originals, as the performance of the aero wipers is crap, with juddering and areas of screen that get missed. I have replaced all the blades, but little improvement.

The rear wiper looks much better, so might be worth doing for the aesthetics alone, but the fronts don't really look any better IMO, so I would stick with the originals.

i use the new style wiper arms/blades from b7s on my cars - better than aeros

No, the France kit won't be the same as they're for LHD cars.

The third character (1) on the wiper arm part#, dictates for LHD cars. Should be a 2 for RHD/UK cars.

You can use the Passat arms and blades, from around a 2001-2004 model or thereabouts.

Have recently seen people use the newer B7 arms, but knowing Audi they'll be more expensive!

these are from a Passat/Golf

Correct. Bought mine from Ashford Volkswagen. They even put them on for me.

How much?

I've got the VAG parts kit on my car (I thought that was using B6/7 parts?)

Anyhow, I have no juddering, noise etc.. a big improcement on the OEM wipers.

I'm using the Passat B5.5 arms, and a combination of Passat/Golf Mk4 aero blades.

AFAIK this is what the VAG-Parts kit is aswell

I'm running B7 front arms, never had any judder.

Am running the same B7 setup front and rear as Doug (he fitted them!)- better than originals IMO and look better, still get the aero look with chunkier arms. Only prob was 1) Had to use original retaining nut as the new arms have a deeper bolt-head and the covers wouldn't fit and 2) The spindle/washer jet cover on the rear is completely the wrong way so you only get a jet as the new holes pass over the fixed washer jet! not a major issue as a) setup looks better and b) only use rears in the rain so soapy water not really required.....
