    as above really...

    where do you get yours from & how much do you pay? If it's non audi, what do you ask for. I need a new front set and cant believe I have to pay Audi £40 for the privilege

    thanks

    Agree with above.

    I've use the bosch aerotwin and cheapest place was ECP. They have 30% off at moment. Straight like for like swap, don't forget to set them to service position in MMI before you start .....

    Just had this conversation with the parts guy.....when quoted £40 I asked him to check whether or not there were actually two in the box for this price. Ridiculous.

    Bosch at the local parts place for £25.
