Got to be better than the std design I'm on my 3rd set of wipers and they still bang jump and spit water on the screen

We did a group buy for the S4/RS4 ones for vag com, really good, I would not go back at all...

Second that. They are brill!

Thanks.

So, going by that i shouldn't be disappointed.

Think i may put an order in.

Anyone know somewhere to buy them from (apart from the above) recommendations?

I did mine as well a lot better,

I'd give VAG parts a bell and see what they say if you mention the RS246 group buy

I was told they do not fit RS6 models ? Am I correct ?

correct, have tried myself to buy but was warned off by the likes of VAG parts... Not sure why, is is shape of windscreen??? it aint exactly a technical component after all, it can't be that hard can it!?

I called vag parts and they said it the shape of the v8 windsceen that won't allow them to work ,

Yep, they aren't listed on ETKA for the RS6

Surely its just that you need the correct length of arm & blade!?

no, and plenty think the same way.......... VAG group cars all have curved lefthand blades, if you put a straight blade on it misses half the screen and makes a god almighty noise while wiping, Spotty youth in Halfords thought the same when fitting blades to friend's passat.......

So this person is wrong when he says they will fit an RS6?

Thanks for the info and I'm glad i asked the question.

Another save from RS246 that would've cost me £80


Thanks

Could ask him if he has any proof that he has a set that fit RS6 given the above!?

Aero wipers were std fit to the Skoda Superb, which shares the same floorplan and has a similar body style to the Passat, so this *may* be an option???

Have to say that i am very happy with the aero wipers i got on the group buy, however the 'parking/rest' position of the N/S wiper has to be raised a little to get a full sweep, but not enough to be an eyesore.
Maybe on the RS6 it is not so easily cured!
