My wipers, are perfectly quiet when dry, but when wet, they judder like crazy,
the wipers are new with the car, which is just over a month old.
I dont have any treatment on my screen or any rainx in my washer fluid.
Anyone else having juddering issues?
Anyone know how to resolve this?

Mines been into the dealers twice for exactly the same it is better now but still not right. Others suggested fitting Bosch wipers I will let you know if this solves it. I am going through the issue with VW customer service suggest you do the same

Had the same issue but I just left it, they're absolutely fine now. Some others members have taken their cars to the dealership to be fixed but I would suggest just let them bed in a bit and after a few times of them being on in the rain they should be fine. (That's what I did and mine have been fine since)

I fitted the Bosch wipers and they are so much better unlike others my VW fitted wipers did not seem to be getting any better. Not often I ask for rain but I need it now to try them, initially using a hose pipe they look good. I will try to get my money back from VW

Mine juddered initially, that wore off, working fine and are now a bit smeary.

The new Bosch wipers have solved the juddering completely so now my polo is perfect

Just the once, and it was the rear wiper. Parked car, been raining, so on return gave front wiper a single sweep to clear water, rear wiper is set to 'wipe on reverse', backed car up rear wiper did it's thing and loudly juddered and almost jumped across the dry rear window. Still on standard OEM wipers....

Same for me. Was really bad for a week or two maybe but fine now. I think just needed to bed in.

I have had juddering wipers and they made a terrible noise too. I found out on a busy dual carriageway that my wipers don't work properly.
Dealer has replaced wipers (they say so dealing with a lying dealer) but trying to reject on this and a number of other safety related issues.
Good luck with trying to get them fixed!
