Wiper Blade Replacement

[KevTrem]

Afternoon all,

Im looking to replace my wiper blades, do I buy the genuine Audi ones from dealers or buy the Bosch ones that are a direct fit for £18?

Any experience or opinions on what to buy?

Thank you

I have just replaced both the front and rear ones with Bosch ones (bought from Amazon and delivered to the door avoiding time and cost of driving to the dealer). TBH based on both my previous C7 and this one, the factory blades do not seem to last very long (had to replace them on both cars only a little over 12 months from new car purchase), and looking at them they are unbranded so do not know where they originate from but don't think they are Bosch as there is a note on the box for the rear one saying that it is slightly shorter than the factory fit.

Well dealer ones are £40 from their website on fixed price costs, so ordered Bosch ones and also the fan pattern washer jets for the same price as the dealer wiper blades.

I have used bosch ones on my previous car and had them on for a little over 12months before trading car in for the A6.

Thank you both for you input
