Passat Aero Wipers - retrofit

[Dave Elcome]

If I buy and fit Aero wipers am I going to be ecstatic?

No

Will my screen be even clearer?

No

Or will they judder and squeak?

YES. They are instruments of the devil Look Here. https://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=5321&highlight=juddering+wipers


If anyone wants Aero wipers after this, they can swap with me, I detest the useless articles!!

Well mine work fine as do my parents - but I should emphasise it was done for looks - I don't think there is any problem with the original type wipers - tried and tested! So would you like to swap your aeros for my older type? I bet you don't because they won't looka s good!

At last, a negative POV. I'll have a read of that, thanks!

Hopefully my juddering wipers are a thing of the past. Today I fitted the earlier type wipers arm, and a set of normal type Bosch blades. If this doesn't cure I'm going to sulk!!

I retrofited plug and play Valeo X-TRMs, these are like Bosch Aerotwins. Before that I had Classic Fusions (Halfords also sell these as their own make) and these were OK for a few months then the metal spine started to rust, so I replaced them with Valeos.
