New wiper blades for T6.1

[chockswahay]

There are many wiper blade threads on here but so many seem (to me anyway) a little confusing so having having just fitted new ones today I thought this might help anyone in the same boat.

I ordered the blades online at Euro Car Parts using my van reg…… Bosch came up and I bought the Aerotwin blades for front and back. Fitting was really quick and easy (press release tab, slide out…… that’s it!) and now I have smear free squeak free wipers for half the price that VW wanted on the recent service

I fitted a pair of them a few weeks ago.!00% better than the original vw blades that came with my van

I’ve fitted this brand and model to all of our cars whatever marque - VW, Volvo, BMW, Audi, Merc, as do our son and daughter now too. They’re better than the ‘original parts‘. There’s nothing worse than a partly cleared windscreen. However we’ve noticed that even with the AeroTwin blades, the passenger side (left side) doesn’t clear as well as the driver side.

Thank you for this. Drivers side had been annoying me for months but didn’t want to spend a fortune. Amazon kindly delivered yesterday, easy fit and the Cali was a different drive today with these wipers with the downpour!

I am on my second pair of these, have exactly the same thing with the passenger side (I have LHD) not clearing as well, not enough to bother me but not great either.....

How often do people usually change them? I have mine (be original) for almost 2 years and I was wondering if they started to perform less well

You can generally tell by deterioration in the wipe eg poor or lots of smearing. Just replaced mine for this reason at 2 years old. Interestingly I noticed my original VW set had a small stamp with a ‘use by date’ which was exactly 2 years from manufacture.

I usually do an annual change. Not a huge cost if shop around.
