I poped in to Audi this afternoon to collect my new Brake Switch, I thought I need some new wipers, I nearly fell over when the sales guys said £31.50!!! I nearly said a least **** turpin wore a mask! how much do others pay?
I got some AERO blades from my local dealer last year and only paid about 17quid for them
I dunno if the B6 uses some fancy fittings,
I dunno if the B6 uses some fancy fittings, but last time i changed the blades on the B5 i paid 8 quid from my local motorfactors for a pair of champion blades.
You wouldnt go to homebase to buy bricks to build an extension or fencing materials for your garden, you'd go to a builders merchant or timber merchant. So why go to halfrauds then moan about the price? Its not news that main dealers rip you off, and for me its certainly the last place i go after having exhausted all other options for a particular part.
If your a car enthusiast you really need to find a local motorfactors that does sensibly priced parts like these. I used to be able recommend unipart/partco as they have outlets all over the place, but i think they've recently turned trade only. Still in my area there are a number of places that are good, and go there a lot and you end up getting trade discount too which always helps. Even your local GSF/ECP outlet will do sensibly priced wiper blades etc.
Wow, am I in a mood today. Apologies Aragorn, you probably didnt deserve that.
I bought a set as the first link for my B6. Still got them brand new in the box if they are any use to anybody. Send me a pm if interested. I upgraded to the aero wipers (thanks Scotty)
The aeros are much better at clearing the water and they don't leave the screen 'streaky'. It is crystal clear immediately after wiping. They also look much better. The upgrade is two new arms and two new blades.What are the areos like and what did the upgrade consist of?
Can anyone say what vehicle/age/model you need to get the wiper arms off so that you can fit aero blades, it might be me but its not 100% clear in this and other threads about them.
James that is a good price indeed!
Yes I was very pleased! Made me feel better for missing the £50 buy it nows in the week, the bargains are out there if you persevere :thumbsup:
Ended up spending Sunday sanding and repainting my existing corroded wiper arms. Turned put better than expected as well.
