2016 GTI Wipers

Post by smithcity »

They're crap & I want new ones. Can anyone recommend any? Preferably from Halfords?

What issues are you having with them? If they're smearing or juddering, it could be due to a greasy screen or wiper rubbers and giving both the screen and wiper blades a thorough clean could cure the problem.

Fortunately, I've not had any issues with mine but I know a number of members on one of the Golf forums have criticised the wipers fitted to the mk7 Golf and the favoured replacement seems to be Bosch Aerotwins. Probably worth doing an internet search for the best price as Halfords won't necessarily be the cheapest.

Concur with SRGTD that Bosch aerotwins are far superior to the valeo ones VW fit. Had no problems with the Bosch ones. Go online for the best prices.

Try Euro car parts for the Bosch wipers, they seem to be on offer :)

Conveniently I know someone who works rather high up for them, I'll see what he can do for me! Thanks everyone.
