Am I the only one?

Post by smudge » Mon Dec 05, 2016 10:41 pm

Possibly the dullest question ever - but I can live with that....

Am I the only one that can't find a replacement Bosch Aero rear wiper blade for the B8 RS4 on the interweb? Surely we aren't all driving around with the factory fitted blade, are we?

I get them from TPS, which are the genuine ones, reliable and squeak free.

Last time I tried to go to a TPS they sent me away as I didn't have a trade account

Have they relaxed this now - it was just after Colbornes had taken them over just over 12 mths ago

Also, Bosch is not OEM, Valeo is. I personally prefer Bosch though and that's what I use.

Interesting, my car came from the factory with Valeo ones on it, Valeo has always been the OEM in the past too. Its sounds like its both then. I

have just order Bosch for it at £40 a set rather the £85 from Audi. Went Bosch Aero retro fit for the Golf too at the same time.

I fitted the Bosch versions and there are bigger, thicker and more efficient than the Valeo ones from Audi, much better than the factory ones.
