Wiper Blades what a rip off

[ss30]

I have just bought from vagparts some wiper blades for my A4. Is there any where else that you can get the Aero blades from as I think £35 is a lot for two blades compared to the old sort where you can get a pair for less than £15. I went a local car parts shop who only sell Champion blades so did'nt have the new sort and they told me I would have to go to Audi.

How come there are no third party one out there?

you could try www.wiperblades.co.uk but i think prices are similar.

ebay maybe?

I tried ebay and could only find the retro fit Aero blades to fit old wiper arms with the hook on them.
As for www.wiperblades.co.uk they wanted £41.55 for a pair inc vat and p&p and they were third party ones (valeo). Standard blades by valeo were £4.75 each +p&p quite a bit difference in price do you think.

vagparts for £34.30 dont seem quite so expensive now.

GSF, Eurocarparts or even Halfords should see you paying less than £20 per pair.

I need the new type of Aero blade for my A4.

GSF dont seem to have any aero type

Eurocarparts want £14.95 each. might not include vat or p+p but have no stock. and had no pic to see if they were the right ones

Halford's dont list them on there web site.

I thought my local dealer was trying to rip me off for a set of blades but they were cheaper than either GSF or *********.

I just had some delivered off ebay- WRONG ONES !! despite me being accurate with my details. Their solution- was ' 'post them back'-- and we will replace -or refund.
Those numptys got it wrong- so-im miffed about having to pay to post them back-.
Also--its not been a good Audi week. Got a bootliner delivered - what a load of crap- its just like a big fat rubber mat- smells like a condom factory- despite them saying it has No odour.
Anyway- just checked on eurocarparts- and still no wipers in stock.
good --innit ?.
