That is EXACTLY the ongoing discussion I was having with Porsche! It took about a year and they (eventually) loaned me wheels and tyres to prove it as they said it wasnt likely to be the wheels as it didnt make sense. Loan wheels fixed the problem. Nobody could figure it out but that is what it was,...

RE: New Hobbit joins the fellowship of the rings

Ok, no posts back so....I bought the Passat Aeros and they work well so far. I havent tried them at high speed yet but they certainly clear the window much better than the originals. When I removed the old ones the wiper arm bolt on the car was splined but the passat wiper arms arent. Dont worry, yo...

Just for the record......I had a similar problem with a Cayenne. I had the discs and pads replaced as I was told the discs were warped and 2 months later they started 'wobbling' again. The dealer replaced the discs under warranty and a couple of months later it happened again. To cut a long story sh...

I noticed someone posted saying that they had put B7 aeros on their car, does anyone know if there is a way to put the B7 arms on or would they have just put adapters and the blades on? Also, are Aeros much better and do they need a wind shield? any advice appreciated.
